Senior Partnership Marketing Manager, adidas

Partnering with Pion, we went on a campus tour across four top locations, connecting directly with students. Letting them experience our product first-hand is so important, and has been a game-changer for engagement.

Marketing Manager, Papa Johns

We ran a paid social campaign with Pion and saw a big lift just from that, with students getting to know who we are, the products we have, and our student discount. That engagement has also given us a lot of information to use for the rest of the year too.
