Facebook
Target Facebook users directly by leveraging your student lists or building a new target audience based on age, geography, degree type, career industries, skills, interests, and more. Facebook can help you reach your unique target audience to generate inquiries, open house registrations, and applications. You can also remarket to those who have visited your website to help your brand stay top of mind, as well as seamlessly collect leads directly in the platform with lead generation ads to your 18+ audiences. Facebook is recommended for increasing brand awareness, event registration, and driving leads and conversions.
Instagram
In a similar fashion, you can also target Instagram users directly by leveraging your student lists or building a new target audience based on age, geography, degree type, career industries, skills, interests, and more. Remarket to those who have visited your website with quick videos that communicate your brand message, and offer a two-click opt-in opportunity for your 18+ audience with lead generation ads. This platform is great for undergraduate and transfer audiences and offers multiple tactics useful for brand awareness, conversion influence, and direct lead generation.
LinkedIn
Reach prospective graduate, professional, or continuing education students based on factors relevant to their degree and background. Targeting options include industry, job title, degree, skills, certifications, group affiliation, and more. A variety of advertising methods are available, such as Sponsored Content, Text Ads, and Sponsored InMail campaigns. Remarket to those who have visited your website to help your brand stay top of mind. With lead generation ads, you can seamlessly collect leads directly in the platform. We recommend LinkedIn for increasing brand awareness, driving leads and conversions, and promoting content or graduate/professional degree programs.
Snapchat
Reach your undergraduate and transfer audiences on this fast-growing platform through three- to 10-second video ads. Targeting capabilities range from using location, age range, and interests to creating list match and look-alike audiences. We recommend using Snap Ads to advertise your brand message or drive leads and conversions.
Twitter
Twitter offers in-depth segmentation and keyword targeting, a feature that is unique to this social media platform.
