Who are we?
East London Students' Union is a membership organisation representing around 25,000 students living here in London. Based in the London Borough of Newham, we have three campuses - one in Docklands and two in Stratford - providing inspiring spaces for students to study, live, and have fun.
Who are our students?
Our student community is deeply diverse, with students from around 160 different countries, a multitude of ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds, and a bigger age range than you might expect. Their interests, lifestyles and buying habits also vary significantly, establishing an open-mindedness about a plethora of brands.
How can we help?
Advertising with us is one of the best ways to tap into the buzzing student market in East London, and we have a full suite of in-person and digital promotional opportunities to help you do just that. We know exactly what makes our student members tick, and can offer our expertise on how you can get the most out of your work with us.
As we prepare for the new academic year, there’s no better time to explore how we can help you connect with our students. Contact us or fill in the form below to explore how we can build an advertising package that meets your brand’s needs.
