Paid Ads Support
Skip the learning curve. Our team helps you launch, optimize, and report on campaigns that reach students and young professionals on Univerze — or we can set you up to run ads yourself.
Why this exists
Univerze ads already let you target by school, skill, interest, and location. Paid Ads Support is for teams who want that set up correctly the first time — or who want us to run it with them.
We tie spend to a real objective: applications, traffic, installs, or awareness. You get targeting, creative direction, pacing, and a report you can act on. Self-serve packages stay available on Pricing if you would rather run campaigns in-house.
This is not a media agency that dumps you into a 20-tab spreadsheet. You get a small number of campaigns, a reason each exists, and a habit of killing what is weak. If the budget cannot teach you anything, we will say that before you spend.
Use this when a role, event, or product needs to be in front of a defined Univerze audience on a deadline — intern season, a campus launch, a waitlist, a hiring sprint. Growth Partner can sit around it if you also need the organic cadence.
Problems we solve
Spend with no destination
Ads that click into a homepage and die. We set the objective and the URL before the first dollar runs.
Audience too wide
“Students in the US” is not a targeting plan. We narrow by school, skill, and interest until reach is honest.
Creative that looks like LinkedIn 2016
This audience skips it. We push copy and creative that fits how people actually scroll on Univerze.
No one watching the first 72 hours
Campaigns that never spend, or spend all at once. We watch delivery early and fix pacing before the week is gone.
Who it's for
Recruiters promoting roles
Get internships and early-career jobs in front of the right schools and skill sets, not a wasted broad audience.
Brands launching to Gen Z
Awareness and traffic campaigns with creative that fits how this audience actually scrolls.
Teams new to Univerze ads
We set up the first campaigns, tracking, and dashboard habits so your team can take over later if you want.
Growth partners adding paid
Organic cadence is running; you need paid to hit a date. We plug into the same brief instead of starting from zero.
What you get
Campaign setup
Objectives, placements, and tracking so spend is tied to applications, traffic, or awareness — not vanity metrics. We confirm the destination URL and events before anything goes live.
Audience targeting
School, skill, interest, age, and location layers aimed at the segments you named in briefing. You see estimated reach before launch, then we tighten based on delivery.
Creative and budget
Ad copy, creative direction, daily pacing, and spend caps. We keep tests small enough to learn without burning the whole budget on week one.
Performance reporting
Reach, clicks, spend, CTR, and conversions in a regular readout — plus the next tests we recommend. No screenshots-only reporting.
Tracking and destinations
UTMs, apply links, and event basics so you can see which campaign drove the action — not just the click.
Handoff to self-serve
If you want your team to run the next flight, we leave naming, structure, and a short operating note — not a mystery account.

How it works
Brief
Goal, budget, geo, and who you must (and must not) reach. We also check whether self-serve packages already cover what you need.
Build
Campaign structure, audiences, creative notes, and tracking. You approve before spend starts.
Launch
Go live with pacing guards. We watch delivery in the first days and fix anything that is not spending or converting as planned.
Optimize
Weekly or biweekly checks: kill what is weak, scale what is working, and send a short report with next actions.
First 90 days
Week 1
Brief locked, campaigns built, creative approved. Nothing spends until you say go.
Weeks 2–4
First flight live. We watch delivery, fix tracking issues, and cut waste early.
Weeks 5–12
Iterate: new tests, tighter audiences, a report rhythm your team can expect. Option to hand off to self-serve.

Questions
Can we still buy packages on Pricing?
Yes. Paid Ads Support is help running campaigns. Advertising packages on /pricing are the media itself. Many partners use both.
Do you run ads off Univerze too?
This service is focused on Univerze inventory and audience. If you need a wider mix, say so in the sales conversation and we will scope it separately.
What budget do we need?
Enough to learn: a test that cannot deliver will not teach you anything. We will be honest in kickoff if the number is too low for the audience you want.
Who writes the ads?
We draft copy and creative direction. You approve. If you have an agency or in-house designer, we will work from their files.
How fast can we launch?
A clean brief and assets can go live in days, not months. Missing destination links or legal review is what usually slows it down.
What if nothing converts?
We stop or restructure instead of “giving it another month” on the same ad. The report will say whether the offer, the audience, or the creative is the weak point.
