For brandsStudent marketing in Ireland, run by one team.
Reach Irish college students on campus, in the streets around it and on their phones. One brief, one quote, one team from print to the campaign report.
Seven ways in. One campaign.
Use one channel or combine them. Everything is planned around the college calendar and the campuses you want.
- 01
Campus Environment Media
Managed poster campaigns across campus buildings, students' union spaces and the student housing around them. Placements are rotated and refreshed, checked twice and reported on.

- Mobile networks
- Fast food

- Transport and travel
See the formats on our work page, and the numbers behind the audience in our guide to Irish student numbers.
Built so nothing gets lost.
- 01
One advertiser per category per city
Book a category and no competitor in it runs with us in that city for the same window.
- 02
A full reserve set
We print a reserve poster for every placement, so anything covered or removed is replaced on the next round.
- 03
A campaign report
A report on your campaign at the end of the run. The balance is due on that report.
What does a campaign cost?
Each campaign is scoped and quoted per brief. Price depends on the campuses, the number of placements, the weeks and the time of year. Send a brief and you'll have a clear quote.
Which colleges can you cover?
We're based in Dublin and plan campaigns nationally, campus by campus, in cities including Dublin, Cork, Galway and Limerick. Each campus has its own rules, so we confirm what's possible before you book.
How do I know the posters went up?
At the end of the run you receive our campaign report. The balance is only due on that report.
Can a competitor run alongside us?
No. We take one advertiser per category per city for each campaign window.
Do you design the posters?
You can supply print ready artwork, or we adapt it for campus, usually at A3, with a QR code that leads somewhere useful. We print a full reserve set so every placement can be replaced.
When are the best times to run?
September for Freshers', November to December, January for the new semester, and April to May for exams and moving out. June to August is quiet on campus.
Can posters be combined with sampling or WhatsApp?
Yes. Most of our formats combine channels, for example posters before Freshers', sampling stands on the day and a WhatsApp list students join on the spot.
Who have you worked with?
Major national and international brands, over many years. Names stay confidential, but we can walk you through relevant work privately.
