The Data

In-school media is already a standard part of enrollment marketing

Students are noticing it. Colleges are investing in it. In-school media is reshaping how institutions across North America reach future students.

74%

have seen in-school media

More than three in four students surveyed nationwide reported seeing in-school media, showing that the channel already reaches students at meaningful scale.

56%

have searched afterwards

More than half of students who saw in-school media later searched for a featured college, showing how in-school exposure can amplify the digital channels students use next.

Why the school day matters

Every other marketing channel is optional. School attendance isn't.

Every marketing strategy competes for a student’s attention. In-school media starts with something far more reliable: their presence.
