Reaching students in Cork.
We plan Cork campaigns campus by campus from Dublin, within each college's rules, and confirm what is possible before you book. UCC SU advertising is sold by the students' union directly, and we can plan around it.
Campaigns combine campus postering, Freshers' activity, sampling and promotions, opt in WhatsApp lists and social, timed to the college year. One advertiser per category per city for each window, and a campaign report at the end.

Do you run student campaigns in Cork?
Yes. StudentLink is based in Dublin and plans campaigns nationally, campus by campus, including in Cork. We confirm each campus's rules before you book.
Which Cork colleges can a campaign include?
Campaigns are planned around University College Cork, Munster Technological University, and the student neighbourhoods near them. Listing a college does not imply a formal partnership.
Can we combine Cork with other cities?
Yes. A national campaign usually combines Dublin with Cork, Galway and Limerick, which together hold most of Ireland's university students.
What does a campaign cost?
Each campaign is scoped and quoted per brief, depending on the campuses, placements, weeks and time of year. Call or WhatsApp Philip on 087 054 9971 for a quote.
