Present on every channel, like you own it
From TikTok to YouTube, spotlight your university across top social networks and connect with both students and parents in their daily feeds—boosting awareness, trust, and engagement year-round.
NEW: Campaigns on Reddit
Achieve high visibility in high-intent moments on Reddit, a non-saturated and trustworthy platform where you can reach prospective students and parents right when they are comparing options or looking for answers to education-related questions.
Campaigns on Meta
Boost awareness and applications with high-impact ads that appear right in students’ and parents’ feeds—from Instagram Stories to Facebook carousels and in-feed videos.
Campaigns on TikTok
Reach prospective students in fast-moving, creative video feeds. TikTok demands authenticity and a firm grasp of current trends—our team ensures your message feels authentic and engaging.
Campaigns on YouTube
YouTube is where your prospective students spend hours exploring ideas, universities, and life abroad. With targeted video ad campaigns, you can meet them there—in their language, culture, and context using emotional storytelling that converts.
Through Keystone, we are present on many social media channels that we couldn't reach otherwise.
