Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for how great The Student Room is for your student marketing and advertising needs, read the testimonials of our brutally honest clients and how we helped them target students for their student marketing, advertising, research and engagement solutions…..

  • “40% of young people are involved in abusive relationships but can be very hard to reach. Many young people use the internet as a source of information on sensitive topics but do not always know where to look.

    “The Student Room has such a far reaching audience which means that many more young people are able to access advice and support on issues relating to relationship abuse

    “It is a safe way for them to seek information as they can ‘legitimately’ use the site for many other reasons and this anonymity can be vital in disclosing abuse. The forums on the site also provide an opportunity for informal peer support as well as professional advice.
    The Student Room is therefore an invaluable resource for many young people seeking support.”

    Jo Sharpen, Children and Young People’s Project Co-ordinator, AVA

    “The Student Room is very switched on when it comes to advertising and communication. Everyone in my office and the whole of the Central Recruitment department were very impressed with how efficiently you operate and we’re looking forward to working with you.”

    Sam Wickenden, Central Recruitment, University of Greenwich

    “The Student Room has helped UPEI to gain initial access to the UK student forums. Within the short period of time since UPEI signed up with TSR, we have seen a significant number of visits and impressions on UPEI materials online. It is a very unique, straightforward venue for higher education institutions to interact with prospective students. We look forward to further innovations and promotional activities by TSR”

    Zhaohui Wang, International Enrolment Specialist, University of Prince Edward Island

    “We use The Student Room as we find it is a great site for hitting our target audience; students use The Student Room so it makes sense that we should too.”

    Gavin Hirst, E-Marketing Officer, University of Huddersfield

    “We are delighted with just how well this competition was received, really grateful and astounded by the interest and the effort put in by TSR members.”

    Jeni Aldridge, Programme Comms Manager, Open University

    “The Student Room helps us to effectively engage with our target audience, wherever they are, whenever they’re thinking about accommodation.”

    Lauren Amos, Marketing Planning Manager, The Unite Group plc

    “Using The Student Room really helps us at Ernst & Young to interact with students and help them with their applications to our graduate and school leaver programmes. It has proved really effective for our recruitment campaigns, and allows us to speak directly to students about what kind of career they want and how Ernst & Young could help them get there.”

    “The site is easy to use and easily accessible, and by receiving notifications straight to my inbox on a daily basis, I am able to go online and answer any questions that students may have posted on our threads. Our main mission is to help students with their career and ensure they work to their strengths, and The Student Room allows us to do just that.”

    Steve Keith, Recruitment Marketing Officer, Ernst & Young

    “The Student Room provided a great opportunity because of the large numbers of young people visiting the site who you could identify as being interested in higher education. Over the five day period that the advertorial ran we had 6 times more clicks than the average rate for online advertising.”

    Lauren Sharman, Senior Student Recruitment Officer, University of Reading

    “We were ecstatic to realise how well the campaign was working for us in such a short space of time and it was brilliant to look back at the continuing success it was throughout it’s 6 week duration.  We are already looking to use this product again in next year’s summer marketing plans and are also looking to exploit The Student Room’s potential in other projects throughout the year.”

    Jamie Roberts, Head of Marketing, The Uni-box Co (UK) Ltd

    “The decision to use The Student Room to promote the launch of our new programmes was based on the fact that it was already driving traffic to our site through referrals. Utilising a variety of formats, the campaign performed well and I’ve no doubt we’ll look to work with The Student Room again. I also found our Account Manager Amish to be helpful and responsive.”

    Ed Whisker, Marketing Executive, Imperial College Business School

    “TSR were an absolute pleasure to work with! They went the extra mile to accommodate our needs and provide alternative solutions to any issues raised throughout the process. Client services were exceptional and working in that area ourselves, we know how difficult it can be sometimes when coping with shifting demands. TSR are recommended by 1000heads and we look forward to working together again!”

    Siobhan Curtis, ARM Strategy Director, 1000heads

    “The Student Room is a site we have been working with on many campaigns now. The team have always been extremely responsive, and easy to work with. Great niche audience, great insight on their demographics and we always finish campaigns with great results! Looking forward to our next campaign! Thanks!”

    Fash Dabeshkhoy, Business Development Manager, Adconion Media Group

    “We are huge fans of The Student Room.”

    Alex Butler, Director of Transformational Strategy, Central Office of Information

    “I have been very impressed by the targetted advertising campaigns run for us by Educate at The Student Room. For our company, being able to focus on a specific student demographic is essential. From the two campaigns we have run we have had very good stats on clickthroughs and subsequent coversions. Thank you for your service.”

    Douglas McDiarmid, Business Development Manager, Oxford Study Courses

    “We used The Student Room as part of our Oct Open Day promotion campaign. It proved to be our most successful campaign of the year with nearly 40% more unique visitors than other web advertising.”

    Todd Pressman, Marjon

    “TSR is a perfect match for reaching students that are considering going into Higher Education. The site looks great and has provided us with a fantastic channel through which we can reach our target audience using engaging media. I was impressed by their flexibility and the quality of service and I’m sure we’ll be working closely with them again in the future.”

    Steph Gray, Former Head of Engagement, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)
