WHO WE ARE

Anglia Ruskin University is one of the largest universities in the East of England and boasts over 23,500 students across our four campuses. ARU Students’ Union is the heart and voice for all Anglia Ruskin students. Advertising through ARU Students’ Union gives your business the opportunity to reach students on all four of ARU’s core campuses in Cambridge, Chelmsford, Peterborough and London. Our students invest a huge amount into the local economy each year, making them a key demographic to advertise your business. We work with a wide range of clients, both locally and nationally. Our experience will enable you to reach our

ARU Students’ Union | Media Guide 19/20

students in a range of different ways, with packages tailored to meet your individual needs. ARU Students’ Union are an independent charity that supports students throughout their time at university. We fund and manage societies, advertise volunteering opportunities, run welfare campaigns and much more. We also operate a café bar on our Chelmsford campus, a shop on our Cambridge campus and run events throughout the year for students. As a not-for profit-charity, all income raised from marketing goes straight back to providing essential services for our students.

SPONSORSHIP

7

Sponsorship ARU Students’ Union run a variety of events throughout the year and are always looking for sponsorship support. The events range from large one-off events such as our annual SU Awards and Freshers’ events through to smaller bespoke activities within the university. Sponsorship can be via financial support or through the supply of services such as a food venders, activities, technical services and much more.

Give it a Go Give it a Go (GIAG’s) is all about trying something new, something the students may have never done before or something they never thought they could. GIAG’s are one-off or limited number activities and trips that the Students’ Union provide to our students throughout the year. Previous GIAG’s have included ock climbing and cocktail masterclasses alongside trips to Brighton, London, Thorpe Park & West End shows. If you have a service and feel our students could ‘Give it a Go’ then we will be happy to promote this to our students through our various advertising channels.

FRESHERS’ WEEK

In September each year we have around 6,000 students joining us across the Cambridge, Chelmsford, Peterborough and London campuses.

Student spending habits haven’t yet been developed, and they’re at their most receptive to new products and services in their first few weeks at university.

As a welcome to our university and the cities we utilise a number of communication methods to introduce students to the products and services of the Students’ Union and our partners.

Your organisation can make a lasting impression and develop long-term brand awareness. Our students are potential lifelong customers.
