Student marketing experience
Our 15 years interacting with students have given us a unique understanding of this ever-changing audience. Every day we help businesses — through our verification solutions, student marketing campaigns and Gen Z insights — to maximize brand awareness, engagement and revenue from the new generation of consumers.
Global student audience
Our insights are fuelled by a global database of millions of students, real-time data on their verified purchases across a network of over 1,000 brands, constant engagement with our Student Beans Insiders community and ongoing major research projects. We combine these powerful sources to track and analyze student trends around the world.
