Whether you’re looking to recruit students to your degree or wellness program, university advertising will increase brand/program awareness and reach. Discover the top three ways to promote school programs on campus.
With outdoor (or out-of-home) marketing, ads can be placed almost anywhere - along roadways, on newsstands and kiosks, and inside and outside of shopping malls, stadiums, movie theaters, convenience stores, gyms, bars, restaurants and gas stations.

Media options include:

Layer geo-targeted mobile advertising on top of your OOH university advertising efforts to increase target audience awareness and engagement.
For example, Florida State University College of Business was looking to drive additional traffic to their website and increase applications to their Masters of Business Analytics Program.
To deliver on awareness and enrollment goals, we devised a full-funnel digital and campus marketing strategy. Using branding and engagement as key objectives for the campaign, we utilized both campus outdoor signage and digital, location specific geo-targeted advertisements in the vicinity of specific campuses throughout the state of Florida.
As a result of our successful integrated advertising campaign, 1M+ impressions were delivered.
