Why use it with your students

No spending

Campaigns are fictional: no payment card, no live delivery, no risk for the school.

A class ready with a simple code

The teacher creates the class and shares a code. Each student enters it with their first and last name: nothing to install, no ad account to open.

Simulated results to read

Impressions, clicks, CPM, CTR, CPA, ROAS: figures based on published benchmarks, to analyze and compare.

Real-world settings, hands-on

Objectives, audiences, placements, budgets, ads: you work with the settings of a real campaign, with step-by-step guides for each platform.

In class or in training

One simple code
For a whole class
