Spotlight on: Running a Seamless Freshers Campaign

20 Mar, 2024

With 6 months to go until Freshers officially kicks off, we're in full planning mode! With Freshers dates rolling in, the September calendar is looking decidedly busy, and we can't wait. If you don't know, Freshers is the pinnacle of the student marketing calendar, with 1 million new students expected to arrive on campus in September, it's the one time of year you can engage with this youth audience, en masse. With that in mind, this month we spent time talking to (one of) Crowd's brilliant and seasoned Account Manager, Annette, talking all things freshers as well as gaining her top tips for a seamless campaign.

Our Four Favourite Freshers Campaigns (and why we love them)

by Rachel Baxter • 04 Mar, 2024

Some countdown to Christmas, some countdown to their wedding, we countdown to the start of the Freshers season! While we activate throughout the year, Freshers is the pinnacle; the highlight of our year that offers brands the perfect opportunity to get in front of a high proportion of the thousands of students expected to arrive on campus this September, all eager to start their new journey and discover new brands, hobbies and interests. So with 6 months until the first freshers fair kicks off - we’re reminiscing about our four favourite freshers campaigns, and why they particularly stick in our (and hopefully students’) minds.

Spotlight on: Making your Stand, Stand Out

by Fay Cook • 22 Feb, 2024

Our focus at Crowd is to continually raise the bar in the world of student marketing. From having a presence at pretty much every Freshers Fair in the country last year, it's clear that a stand with a roller banner and a cloth over a trestle table just isn't cutting the mustard any more. That's why we're shining a spotlight on how to make your campaign stand out and grab the attention of students nationwide. This month c hatted to Fay our Head of Creative & Production to get her insight and top tips when planning the creative element of a campaign, as well as the pitfalls that are best to avoid.

And that’s a wrap! Day 2 at UCAS DISCOVERY in London complete with Springpod 🚀 With over 3000 registrations and 60KG worth of popcorn handed out, it’s been a successful and busy two days for our team! The event once again showcased the UCAS and Springpod partnership, with our bespoke set up offering an immersive cinema experience that offered the perfect opportunity for prospective students to sit down and watch the Subject Spotlight videos to get an insight into the courses they were interested in. With Manchester and London complete, roll on the Birmingham event! 🍿 🎞

At the start of the month, we teamed up with @studentroostuk StudentRoost to help support their Open Day. 🏢 We hit the streets of Belfast with a brightly branded ad walker board, spreading the word and getting students to head over to the Roost property. Once there, we continued the fun with popcorn, mini-golf, and a magic selfie mirror to create a playful environment that matched the Roost brand. ⛳ 🍿 📸 Roost were able to welcome 77 walk-ins, giving them the chance to show off their facilities and let students know about their brand new property, Nelson Place, opening next academic year! It was all about the finishing touches for this campaign, from branded popcorn keep cups and fun fair tickets that were given out on the street, to floor stickers around the city and branded crazy golf score cards.

A couple of weeks ago we designed, produced and managed an exciting campaign for student storage company @lovespaceuk touring our giant “Big Box” and branded tetris wall. We tried to think outside the box but decided to play inside it instead and students had a blast playing real-life storage Tetris, building walls with different shaped boxes against the clock. The branding was clean and eye-catching, instantly letting students know what LOVESPACE is all about. Students also received branded merch, including bags, post-it notes, cups, webcam covers and lanyards. With the help of our incredible Event Manager and promotional team, we toured Durham, Leeds, Manchester, LSE and UCL and collected valuable data and insight, as well as handing out thousands of discount codes to entice students to try out the LOVESPACE offering. Our mammoth cardboard box installation captured the attention of students and created an unforgettable experience. #StudentMarketing #CampusMarketing #ExperientialCampaigns
