Reaching students in Galway.
University of Galway asks external bodies for permission, limits posters to designated boards at A3, and bars pubs, nightclubs and alcohol sellers (University of Galway societies handbook). We plan within those rules, and around them in the city's student neighbourhoods.
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 Galway?
Yes. StudentLink is based in Dublin and plans campaigns nationally, campus by campus, including in Galway. We confirm each campus's rules before you book.
Which Galway colleges can a campaign include?
Campaigns are planned around University of Galway, Atlantic Technological University, and the student neighbourhoods near them. Listing a college does not imply a formal partnership.
Can we combine Galway 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.
