Advertising & Sponsorship

If your company wants to attract Cambridge students, advertising with Cam FM is the best way to reach them.

Cam FM is the official radio station of the University of Cambridge. We broadcast 24 hours a day, year-round, to 18400 Cambridge students, 6400 postgraduates and 1500 university staff. Cam FM is always playing to the entire city on 97.2 FM and the world via our online player. Cam FM is the first choice radio station for many of Cambridge University's and Anglia Ruskin’s students, reaching a total population of over 38,000 students, not to mention the locals, staff and alumni who also tune in.

Students and postgrads in the university discuss what was on Cam FM that morning. They see us all over the city, broadcasting live outside the studios. Cam FM soundtracks their work and leisure time daily, and they hear us playing in the shops across Cambridge. They depend on us for live coverage of the university's major sporting events, such as Varsity Rugby and May Bumps Rowing. All this illustrates how Cam FM is a longstanding and high-profile Cambridge institution. 

Graduate Recruiters

Are you looking to recruit high-flyers? The University of Cambridge is the world's number one university. It is full of talented, brilliant individuals who are highly educated and looking for jobs and internships. If you are a top performing graduate recruiting company, the Cambridge student population is a reliable source of excellent people to become your future star employees.

However, with so many graduate recruitment companies competing for a limited pool of talented students, it can be difficult to make yourself heard. Cam FM can offer the high-profile, regular exposure needed to get Cambridge students thinking of you when they start their applications. We provide direct, unparalleled access to brilliant people that is easily worth the advertising fee.

Advertising Products & Services

You can hear Cam FM 24/7 on any device, anywhere in the world. Our radio adverts have enormous reach, and because we broadcast live from events like the Freshers’ Fair or Bumps, we have a solid physical presence in the city. We are as visible as we are audible. Here are some reasons why advertising with Cam FM is so effective in engaging with your core audience:

• More people than ever are tuning into the radio, surpassing the number who read the freely circulated but seldom perused printed newspapers. Cam FM is a very popular way for students to stay connected to their universities and one another. We have previously partnered with other popular Cambridge societies, including the ADC Theatre, bringing us a surge of new listeners.
• Unlike other student publications that publish just once a week during term time, Cam FM is available 24 hours a day, year-round. We are the only student media outlet producing content daily throughout the year—even during long vacations. Students count on us for news, music, and entertainment, so they always tune in.
• Cam FM is available on FM everywhere in Cambridge. It can be heard in rooms on radios and computers, as well as out and about on any mobile phone. You’ll even hear Cam FM playing in shops and local businesses around town.
• We are also a digital station - many of our listeners tune in online from Cambridge and the rest of the world. Our popular “listen again” feature offers shows on catch-up, so your adverts can reach people even after they are first broadcast. 
• Radio advertisements cannot be skipped. We do not inundate listeners with advertising, so your advertisement will not be overwhelmed by the presence of others. We play one or two adverts per hour in total—these can be exclusively yours if you choose to work with us.
• The Cam FM website is slick, eye-catching and very frequently visited. The majority of our listeners tune in via the website, and it is here that advertising has a profound impact. We offer you the exclusive right to run an advert on a banner across the top of the webpage, making your company virtually unmissable to Cam FM listeners. In just one week, recent banners on our website have generated over 100,000 impressions and over 600 clicks - it’s a surefire way to recommend your company to the people that matter.

We've run major campaigns for companies such as Deloitte, Centrica, PwC, Nestlé, Domino's Pizza, and more. Your campaign can focus on promoting an event, such as a graduate recruiter milkround evening or application deadline, or it can be constructed to build awareness of your company throughout the year. Your partnership with Cam FM can comprise any combination of radio advertisements, website banners, sponsorship of individual programmes, physical banners across the city streets, flyer campaigns, sponsorship of outside broadcasts and title sponsorship of major events - especially Freshers’ Fair and Bumps. We have worked with budgets large and small, so we can offer a range of sponsorship and promotion opportunities. When you advertise with Cam FM, your campaign will be tailor-made to reflect your company’s values, image, budget and desired audience, and we are proud to be flexible and innovative when working with our sponsors.
