What we do.

College student marketing, also known as campus marketing or student marketing, refers to the strategies and tactics businesses and organizations use to promote their products, services, or brands to the college student demographic. This marketing type targets students pursuing higher education at colleges and universities.

College students represent a unique and influential consumer group with specific needs, behaviors, and preferences, making them a valuable target audience for many businesses. For over 30 years, CSM has effectively reached and engaged college students in the US and Canada through many marketing channels and tactics. Our work recommendations speak volumes of proven successes and generated over $2 Billion in profits for our clients through our work.

On-Campus

CSM has actively engaged students on college and university campuses since 1995 through special events with booths, product launches, guest speakers, and other collaborations with campus media outlets.

Community

Creating a community promotion is a highly effective approach for CSM to connect with students and build a strong campus presence. We begin by setting clear objectives, such as boosting brand awareness, generating leads, or driving sales.

Objectives first Brand awareness, lead generation or direct sales

Social Media

College students spend 17 hours weekly on Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, comprising 34% of their online time. CSM acknowledges the need to utilize these platforms for engagement, mainly since students primarily use them for leisure, not education or work.
