Our product enables 100+ global Higher Ed providers to share an authentic digital insight into what the experience of being part of their institution is really like by allowing prospects to engage directly with ambassadors, through conversations and user-generated content.

We’re very proud of the real impact that we have on people’s lives across the world when making these life changing decisions.

In conjunction with this there is high visibility around progress and outcomes across the company, and everyone is expected and encouraged to highlight areas of improvement. Above all, we value the people we work with, building strong and lasting relationships and are always friendly, kind and approachable.
