Brands actively seeking campus sponsorship opportunities
University events offices, student activity boards, athletics departments, and campus recreation staff use The Campus Marketing Institute to connect their programming with brands and agencies who want to sponsor, sample, and activate at real campus moments. We bring the brands to you.
Your events are seen by brand managers and agency buyers across the country the moment we publish them. No cold outreach required on your end.
Attract sponsorship dollars, product donations, in-kind support, and brand activations that enhance your events at no cost to your department.
Submit any event with our simple form. Upload your existing flyer or sponsorship deck and you are done. We handle the rest.
We are compensated by the brands and agencies who use our platform. Listing your events and receiving sponsorship inquiries costs your institution nothing, ever.
Brands want to reach students at every touchpoint on campus, not just the headline events. Our network of agencies and brand managers is looking for opportunities across the full spectrum of campus life. If students will be there, a brand wants to know about it.
No event is too small. A brand-sponsored movie night costs your department nothing and adds to the student experience.

We submitted our Welcome Week lineup in one afternoon and had three brand inquiries within a week. One turned into a product sampling partnership that covered a significant portion of our programming costs for the semester.

You do not need to be a sponsorship professional to use this platform. If you plan, manage, or support campus events in any capacity, your programming calendar belongs here.
Connect your event calendar with brands looking to activate at student-run programming across every campus format.
List sporting events, intramural tournaments, fitness programs, and stadium activations for corporate sponsorship consideration.
Institutional events, orientation programs, alumni weekends, and large-format campus productions are exactly what brand sponsors are looking for.
Recruitment weeks, philanthropy events, and chapter programming are among the most sought-after sponsorship opportunities in our network.
Health fairs, intramurals, outdoor recreation events, and wellness programming attract brands in fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle categories.
Student clubs and organizations running events of any size can qualify for brand sponsorship, product donations, and in-kind support.
No. Listing events and receiving brand inquiries is completely free for universities. The Campus Marketing Institute is compensated by the brands and agencies who use our platform to find campus sponsorship opportunities. There is no cost to your department, ever.
That depends on your institution's policies. Most event coordinators, student activity board staff, athletics staff, and recreation directors list events independently. We recommend checking with your department head or compliance office if you are unsure. We are happy to provide documentation about our platform for your institution's review.
That is fine and very common. Many schools list events without defined sponsorship tiers or packages. Brands will still discover your events and reach out directly with their own proposals. You are never obligated to accept any partnership and can review every inquiry before responding. Request a free consultation to help build your sponsorship deck.
Yes. We provide a downloadable CSV template you can populate with your full calendar and upload in a single submission. Each event is reviewed and published individually, typically within 48 hours.
Our brand and agency network spans consumer packaged goods, apparel, technology, food and beverage, financial services, health and wellness, entertainment, and more. Brands range from national Fortune 500 companies to emerging direct-to-consumer brands looking to establish their presence on campus.
You will receive a notification in your dashboard and by email whenever a brand submits a sponsorship inquiry for one of your events. We review every inquiry before it reaches you to ensure relevance and legitimacy.
