We also offer online services through our website including grinds listings, class rep registrations and online voting. The site caters to every dimension of a student’s needs on and off campus and is an important tentpole of the union.

Homepage Advertising

The advertising space would be located underneath the head banner of the website and would be statistically one of the most viewed places on the site. Hyperlinks can be attached to the adverts and easily tracked for your advert metrics.

Our Socials

We have a strong following on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, with Instagram being particularly communicative with our student body.

Being responsible with social media is our mantra here at the Students’ Union. We will only promote products and services that benefit our students.

Our Social Media Packages

If you advertise with us through the explicit online mag, we will consider introducing social media offerings into the package if appropriate.

We mainly focus on content through Instagram because we find it the best catchment platform for the student body and we mirror that out through our other socials.

Our social media content is more information about events or general content that benefits the students (Giveaways included).

With regards to posting, we can agree on a time and date that you wish to push your advertising on socials, the same post will be mirrored to ‘X’ (Twitter), Facebook and Instagram at the same time (generally we get about 4.5k views per post on average across the three social platforms. Posting to the main timelines and stories.)
