Mecenat is now going out on campus to universities and colleges to meet the students at their home turf. During Mecenat Touchdown we have a great lounge area with music, coffee, giveaways and happenings where the students can hang out and discover for a day.

A lot of students are now starting a new school year and installing themselves at their place of study. But it is far from everyone who has found a permanent place to move in to. More than one in five, just over 22 percent, of students over the age of 19 have not yet found a accommodation for the fall term. And when the housing is in place, there are a lot of decisions to be made before they have a functioning home. This is shown in Mecenat’s survey about student housing conducted in August.

This week, H&M began offering student discounts to Sweden’s students through Mecenat. During the launch campaign, the students will be able to dress up for the summer parties in costumes and dresses with 10 percent student discount.

One of Mecenat’s summer gifts for students in Sweden is a student discount on four of this summer’s really big music festivals: Summerburst in Gothenburg, Lollapalooza in Stockholm, Way Out West in Gothenburg and Summerburst Stockholm. It’s together with Live Nation that we can make the summer even more fun with student discounts.

Through a cooperation with Mecenat, McDonald’s is now launching student discounts in its app. This means that students have access to offers directly in McDonald’s app

During the Easter week we conducted a competition with our partners where the students could find luxurious gold eggs filled with gift cards and tickets. The result surpassed our high expectations by far. Lots of participants and lots of positive posts in social media. “Have not seen so many run around town, since Pokémon go”, commented one of the participating students

As of today, Mecenat students receive a student discount on the talk of the town; the electric scooter from VOI. This is the result of a new collaboration between Mecenat AB and VOI Technology.

Mecenat has started a collaboration with LetsGig, and their newly founded recruitment platform. It matches companies with students who are looking for extra jobs during their studies

Mecenat has for some time developed Mecenat UniCore, a membership system for student organisations. Recently, the 20th student union took the system into operation. UniCore has a clear focus on both their membership administration and the students’ membership benefits It also means great financial savings for the organisations.

This week Mecenat celebrated with a prize ceremony and announced the winners in the big competition, which was open for all students during the fall semester of 2018. Mecenat held the competition together with 20 cooperating partners – great companies and brands, which contributed with prizes and gift cards with a total value of more than 200 000 SEK for the winners. The competition aroused great interest and created a lot of positive interaction within the student target group, with a total of 22 000 contestants.
