How we delivered

Using our extensive knowledge and relationships with universities across the country, The Crowd Agency worked closely with Art Fund to carefully select the most appropriate Students’ Union freshers’ fairs to promote the Student Art Pass and create a targeted Freshers’ Fair Tour, visiting 15 campuses over 17 days.

The Crowd Agency managed all of the tour logistics, including securing sites on campus, hiring and managing high-quality promotional staff and designing a unique and eco-friendly stand setup, created using recycled/ recyclable materials.

We incorporated Apple and Google Pay into the process to ensure students were able to swiftly sign up and purchase their Art Pass on the day, eliminating the need for over-reliance on lengthy sign-up forms and touchy Internet connection.
