    Spinning to win with Frasers Group

    Frasers Group wanted students to see them as more than just big-name retail brands – they wanted to be known as a top graduate employer. So, we hit university campuses with a giant LED screen, booming music, and a massive prize wheel featuring brands like SportsDirect, Flannels, Jack Wills, and Game. Students scanned QR codes to enter via a slick microsite, with prizes ranging from PS5s to Evans bikes.

    Practical giveaways like umbrellas and beanies kept the brand top of mind, while geo-targeted ads, student ambassadors, and a partnership with The Tab amplified the buzz.

    The result? 3.1 million students reached, thousands of competition entries, and a talent pool ready for Frasers Group’s grad scheme.

    Frequently asked questions about campus events

    Campus events matter because students still expect to meet employers in person; 75% of students expect in-person engagement from employers. In a mostly digital job search, a well-run event builds trust and lets students experience your culture first-hand. It's a chance to show who you are as an employer, build excitement about your opportunities and help students understand more about you before they apply to differentiate yourself from your competitors.

    Lasting impact comes from treating the event as the centrepiece of a connected strategy and making something distinctive and memorable. The activation matters, but promotion, targeting, data capture and follow-up are what turn attention into long-term results. The strongest campus strategies make every touchpoint, follow-up emails, social content, applications and future events feel like a continuation of the same experience students had in person, so the relationship builds rather than resets.

    Campus events work best as part of a connected early talent strategy rather than a standalone moment. They pair naturally with brand ambassador programmes that sustain your presence on campus between events, and with recruitment marketing that targets and retargets engaged students afterwards.

    At Frasers Group, student ambassadors, geo-targeted ads and a QR-code microsite worked alongside the live activation, turning a moment on campus into an ongoing talent pipeline.

    Wiser designs campus events that combine creativity with strategy and are built around your goals: whether that's awareness, quality applications or reaching a specific talent pool. Every activation is designed to stand out on a crowded campus and to bring your employer brand to life, not just hand out branded merchandise.
