Student Roost

While we launched our #BehindEveryDoor movement last week on University Mental Health Day, we were also busy raising awareness across our portfolio. We collaborated with our good friends at Chasing the Stigma, who took the time to answer some questions from our residents and team members on student mental health, how the Hub of Hope came to be, and tips on how to look after yourself when you’re not having the best day. Watch the video below ??

??Launching our #BehindEveryDoor movement. Join us today. Behind every door, in student accommodation across the UK, everyone has their own mental health journey. Behind every door, there is a story. We’re absolutely thrilled to announce the launch of our #BehindEveryDoor movement in collaboration with Chasing the Stigma, sparking a change in the way the student accommodation and higher education sectors deliver student mental health support. In 2022, we partnered with Chasing the Stigma to launch their Hub of Hope app within our properties, as part of our #BehindEveryDoor campaign. Three years later, we’re calling on colleagues in the student accommodation and higher education sectors to pledge their support to our movement, to ensure mental health support is available to every student, behind every door, everywhere.? Colleagues and peers from Greystar's Chapter and Canvas Student, Yugo, LUNA Students and Fusion Group have pledged their support and committed to #BehindEveryDoor, promising to make student mental health support more accessible and visible by introducing Chasing the Stigma’s Hub of Hope within their properties. By joining the movement, we’re taking a vital step in removing barriers to mental health, fostering open conversations, and ensuring every student has the support they need during their academic journey. If you’re a university, higher education provider or student accommodation provider and would like to join our movement, we’d love to have you on board. Take the pledge so that together, we can ensure that mental health isn’t just a topic for discussion, but a continued, evolving part of every student's experience. It’s time to break down the stigma and open the doors to better student mental health support. For more information, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eahZ_bDR

?? At Student Roost, we’re evolving how we approach marketing and video content. Instead of relying on a single hero video for our campaigns, we’re creating channel-first content that feels right at home on the platforms our audience know and love. ??Each platform has its own purpose, tone and method of engaging users, so we’ve reflected this persona-led approach in our latest campaign. From dynamic Twitch content tailored for gaming fans, to Netflix ads that align with the binge-watching experience, we’re bringing real, relatable moments to life. ?This shift in our marketing is all about innovation – creating content that meets the needs of our audience wherever they are, speaks their language, and feels authentic, ensuring we’re always ahead of the curve.

Our Managing Director, Ashling Fox, MBA, CMgr FCMI. will be taking to the stage at Plentific's Connect 2025 today, to discuss how technology is transforming the delivery of student accommodation services. She’ll also be diving deep into how digital solutions such as Plentific assist the need to create an “always on” operational model, as well as how student accommodation providers need to adapt their services and introduce a more digital-first experience to stay above the curve when it comes to audiences, USPs, and the emergence of Gen Alpha.?

Say hello to 2.0! Over the past year, we’ve been working on something really special. In partnership with Nzime Ltd, we’ve been on a journey to create a brand-new website with a big ambition: to provide a customer-first experience that is accessible to everyone. How did we achieve it? Every single decision, from functionality to design and content, was based on real feedback and insight directly from our students, allowing us to?prioritise the information our audience needs and wants and deliver it in a frictionless way that feels comfortable and familiar. Some of our favourite features include: - Advanced accessibility features including calm, dark and language filters that allow our visitors to take control of their experience and adapt it to suit their needs - Introducing a ‘real life’ peek behind our doors with the introduction of property stories, bringing a human touch to static photography - The addition of advanced filtering options and innovative comparison tools to make finding the perfect room much easier - Recognising that choosing where to live at university isn’t always a decision that can be made quickly. So, we’ve made it even more simple for returning users, applying dynamic on-page content and the opportunity to save favourites before making a commitment. With so much more to talk about, we could be here all day. You can see our brand new website live now at www.studentroost.co.uk A huge congratulations and thank you to every person who played a part in bringing this project to life!
