Meta & TikTok Advertising – Brand & Lead Generation Campaigns

Paid Social advertising allows universities to reach prospective postgraduate students on platforms like Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, helping drive awareness, engagement and leads.

We offer both Brand Awareness and Lead Generation campaigns across Meta (Facebook & Instagram) and TikTok – giving you flexible options to suit your goals and audience.

As part of your campaign, you’ll also:

  • Access our global audience of over 7 million* engaged FindAMasters users
  • Benefit from our trusted brand presence, which helps your messaging stand out in a crowded digital landscape

On TikTok, campaigns can either be run from our account or utilise SparkAds, which allows amplification of your existing posts. This flexibility ensures maximum reach for the content that resonates most with your audience.
