Fanshawe College
Scaling your ambassador program without scaling your team
About Fanshawe College
Fanshawe College is a renowned international college with campuses across London and Norfolk, Ontario (Canada). The college provides high levels of education to more than half a million people worldwide and offers over 200 degrees, certificates and diplomas.
The college was looking for a solution that would let them connect current students to prospective ones so that they could share thoughts and experiences about campus life.
After narrowing their search down to two options, Fanshawe chose The Ambassador Platform based on its track record of providing high-quality services to other colleges and institutions around the world.
The Challenge
Fanshawe College was looking for a solution that would enable their international prospects to speak to current students who have experienced college and city life.
According to their research, almost all their international students were interested in a service that would let them ask questions about the quality of the education, what the city was like and how they found their overall time at the college.
Of course, the college could answer all these questions from an institutional perspective, but prospective students thought it lacked a personal touch. Instead, the views from Fanshawe's current students came across as much more honest and authentic, and therefore trustworthy. That's why in 2021, Fanshawe College chose The Ambassador Platform to connect their student ambassadors to prospective ones online.
"The reason we chose The Ambassador Platform was the use cases. We looked at their clients around the world and how they were using the platform, and we found those cases to be very strong. Also, we became bigger believers in The Ambassador Platform based on the support we've gotten, and how flexible everyone has been"
