How AdVans Drive Student Engagement
for Scarborough UTC Open Day

Attracting prospective students to an open evening is a crucial step in showcasing a school’s offerings, culture, and opportunities. Traditional marketing methods such as flyers, online ads, and social media can be effective, but nothing quite captures attention like a mobile, high-impact advertising campaign. That’s where AdVans and DigiVans come in.

The Power of Mobile Advertising


AdVans offer a dynamic way to reach potential students and their families by taking your message directly to them. Unlike static billboards or digital campaigns that require active engagement, AdVans ensure your advertisement is seen by thousands as they travel through key locations at strategic times.

  1.  Engaging Visuals & Messaging: The AdVan featured bold, easy-to-read messaging with a clear call to action and designed by the client.
  2. Timed Campaign Execution: The campaign ran for 3 days leading up to the event, with the AdVan operating during school runs, evening commutes, for maximum exposure.
