Why this matters for universities
Your campus has 10,000–50,000 students and staff passing through daily. Local restaurants, bookstores, tutoring services, and brands want to reach them, and they're spending thousands on Instagram and TikTok ads targeting your zip code. With GEORA, they sponsor a zone in your campus directly.

A revenue example.

The problem

What universities typically struggle with.

Attention without ownership. Traffic without a durable audience. Revenue tied to one-off transactions.

  • Local businesses have no unified way to reach students
  • Alumni relationships fade the day after graduation

Students, faculty, staff, families, alumni, one opted-in graph.
