Face-to-Face is Key

We had the pleasure of attending Middlesex University London and University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) at this year’s Freshers’ 2024 – to introduce our music channel and interactive app. Both were packed with hundreds of new (and current) students, excited to discover new things that enhance their university experience. We love this time of year; it’s the perfect way to connect in a fun, social setting.

Freshers is a terrific time to engage with students directly, explain how our app works and promote our monthly £100 brainteaser give away, as well as the opportunity to tap into regular deals and promotions taking place across all our SUBTV venues.

Spin the Wheel - Never Fails

To make things even more exciting this year, we brought “Spin the Wheel,” where students won gift card prizes (from a huge range of SUBTV brands), and, let’s not forget, our popular merch, tote bags and bucket hats!

Like us to run a Pop-Up stand at your SU venue? This isn’t just a Freshers thing – we also visit sites across the year to promote SUBTV, so please let us know if you’d like us to attend.

SPOTTED - Live

We kicked off Freshers with the super-talented James Smith, who performed an incredible acoustic set for fans at UCLan. The atmosphere was electric, and students couldn’t get enough of the intimate, on-campus experience—bringing the music and fun right to their doorstep.

It’s more than just app sign-ups; by connecting face-to-face, we’re building a community that extends into the social spaces students love, turning our music into a familiar, shared experience.

Like us to run a Spotted event at your SU venue? This isn’t just a Freshers thing – we also organise and collaborate with venues across the year, so please let us know if you’d like us to consider running SPOTTED at your SU.
