More students through your door
Our students bring their classmates in this week, not next semester.
We recruit, train and mobilize our own students on 135+ campuses across Canada and the US, then put them to work for your brand. Over 25 years of it.

Our story
Our students are your marketing team on campus. We mobilize the ones who live there to champion your message to their friends!
We started with a student planner in 1995. Today we run a network of student ambassadors, creators and coordinators who hand out your offers, film your content, post to their own followings and talk you up in the group chats, because they know where students actually hang out.
We hire, train and pay on-campus students, and back the clubs and causes they belong to.
Got something to say, give or show students? We send our students to put it in their hands.
From the field

New: AI search & GEO
Your customers don't just search anymore. They ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews who to hire, where to eat, what to buy and who to trust. Generative engine optimization (GEO) makes sure your business is the one those answers name and link to, whether you sell to students, families, local shoppers or other businesses.
We ask the questions your customers ask, across every major AI engine and in every market you serve, and show you where you appear, where competitors do, and what the AI gets wrong about you.
AI answers lean on what real people post. Our creator network produces the reviews, videos, Reddit threads and posts that answer engines pick up and quote, for any audience.
Clear pages, FAQs, schema markup, accurate hours, services, pricing and offers, written so AI can read, trust and quote your site.
Consistent Google Business, Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing and industry directory listings so every engine has the same, current facts about you.
A monthly report of the prompts that matter to your business, whether you were named and cited, and how that changes over time.
Whoever your customers are, they're asking AI. SEO got you on the first page. GEO gets you into the answer.

Case study
We mobilized our Boston College and BU students to hand out free boba on campus and on TikTok, reaching classmates in dorms and off campus alike, and sent them straight to Mecha's door.



Case study
Our student creators at Michigan State and Alabama filmed try-ons and store walkthroughs at Alumni Hall, then shared them on TikTok, Instagram and in their own private group chats.



Case study
For Hazelview Properties our Concordia and McGill students reached their classmates for more than eight downtown buildings. We launched the Hazelview Montreal Instagram page and our students ran Frosh Week activations, pet-friendly promos and neighbourhood spotlights.
