With Universities closing, do you know how to access students?

One of our favourite motto’s here at BAM is “where there is a will, there is a way”, if you have enough drive and determination, anything is achievable. With every challenge comes an opportunity, with every problem there is a solution and when one door closes another one opens. 

Our mission is to connect brands with the youth market. We work with brands to establish an effective strategy that is underpinned by their persona and objectives to engage with the consumers of the future. Our experience and extensive research into this market provides us with the unique ability to provide the best possible advice to our clients. We know what students want from brands. We know how they want to be communicated to. We know what motivates them to buy. But most importantly of all, we know where they are and how to access them.

Whilst limitations are being placed on how we can access students, you may feel that this market is inaccessible or you may be concerned about how you can continue to impact the marketing objectives your business needs to achieve. 

BAM are here to tell you that the youth market is still very much alive and still extremely accessible for brands. Students still have access to expendable cash, students are still receptive to brands and students are looking to #beattheboredom. This is where you come in. 

It is time to adapt your strategy and time to get creative. With a plethora of channels waiting to be utilised, this is the prime time to engage with students and target them where they will be.. online!
