Battenhall has a proud history of working with brands involved in learning and education, so we’re thrilled to have been named social media agency of record for Unite Students – the UK’s leading provider of purpose-built student accommodation.

The initial three-year partnership will encompass a holistic approach to social media, including strategy development, end-to-end content creation, paid advertising, influencer activation, and social insights and analysis. 

Our mission is to engage with students throughout their entire journey, from prospective students to alumni, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience.

Having previously worked with University of Cambridge on an award-winning diversity campaign we’re now eager to use the latest in social media trends and technology to connect and engage with another vibrant student community.

Battenhall Managing Director for UK & EMEA, Rhian Robinson, said: “We’re excited about working with Unite Students. It’s an organisation that not only houses students, but also nurtures them through their entire university experience. Our collaborative and innovation-led response secured this win, and we can’t wait to see where it takes us.”

Gemma Mason, Head of Marketing at Unite Students, shared the same sentiment: “We’re on a mission at Unite Students to improve the journey of our customer lifecycle and were really impressed with everything Battenhall presented during the pitch process. We’re excited to work together to redefine our strategies and ensure our social channels are set up for success.”

Unite Students is home to 70,000 students across 153 properties in 23 leading university towns and cities, partnering with over 60 top UK universities.
