How they got there

They're not always the best. They're the most familiar.

First year is when students lock in their habits. Every new first-year intake is a fresh chance to win them.

  1. 01

    Your coffee, food and space appear on the pages students follow.

  2. 02

    Friends meet between lectures. Your cafe becomes a place they have actually tried.

  3. 03

    The morning coffee or study break turns into a routine.

  4. 04

    They bring coursemates and point next year’s first-years towards their regular spot.

The cost of waiting

Every week you're invisible, someone else is becoming their habit.

First year is when students lock in their habits. The cafe they choose then is often the one they stick with until they graduate. A cafe they never hear about rarely makes the shortlist.

Every academic year resets the race. We only work with a limited number of businesses in Sheffield at a time.

That way every partner gets proper filming time and attention. We check availability before any partnership is agreed.

How we get you there

Make your cafe familiar to Sheffield students.

  1. 01

    Week 1: we learn your business

    We look at your location, your menu and study space, and the size of your cafe. We build your student offer around that, so it is an offer students actually want and your business can handle.

  2. 02

    Week 2: a professional shoot at your cafe

    We send a professional videographer from our team to capture photos and video of your coffee, your food and your space. It is included in your partnership at no extra cost.

  3. 03

    Then: professional promo, live to students

    We turn that footage into professional promo content. You approve every piece before it goes live on the campus pages Sheffield students already follow. Put your cafe on their list for the next coffee catch-up.

    10,000+ student impressions every month - or you don't pay for that month.

  4. 04

    End of every month: your monthly meeting

    At the end of every month we sit down with you to talk through how your regulars are growing, make any changes you want, and show you the total views your posts received. Then we plan the next month around the Sheffield student calendar: freshers introductions, exam study breaks, Valentine’s catch-ups and end-of-term meet-ups.
