College marketing guide

How to market to college students without missing campus context.

College marketing works best when planning starts with campus behavior, not broad age targeting.

Get a campus media plan

Start with the campus moment

Students respond to messages that understand timing: finals, move-in, rivalry weeks, club recruiting, local store traffic, and launch moments that feel relevant to their school.

Pair media with response data

Use campus-native ads to create reach, then use polls and comments to learn what students actually think before scaling creative across more schools.
