Why Advertise on the College Mate Blog

We create content for a very specific niche on this website:

• College hopefuls
• College students
• Recent college graduates

This makes it ideal for organizations looking to reach a young audience or market between the ages of 16 and 35. We receive dozens of pitches each month, but we only respond to the pitches that meet our guidelines and align with the brand.

Please note that we believe in the responsible use of our platform, so we do not advertise for academic writing services, escort services, and anything else that might put young people at risk.
