UpperClass + Agencies: the content engine behind great agency campaigns
Agencies own the strategy, the media plan, and the client relationship. What they can't manufacture is a current student on camera telling the truth. UpperClass supplies that layer: rights-cleared, institution-approved student content, delivered through the Global Content Hub (hub.upperclass.app) and ready to deploy in any campaign.
Filter to exactly what the campaign needs
Search and filter by platform (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), student nationality, field of study, and use case (admissions, career, student affairs, marketing). An agency running a Vietnam-market campaign for a business school pulls Vietnamese business-student stories in seconds.
Private, tokenized agency access
Each agency or partner receives a private hub link, pre-filtered to the institutions and content sets they're authorized to use, revocable any time. No shared logins, no email attachments, no version confusion.
Embed anywhere, attribute everything
Every asset ships with inline and corner embed snippets that agencies can place on client program pages, landing pages, or partner sites. Every open, view, and click flows back into the institution's analytics, so the agency's contribution shows up in the client's numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does UpperClass replace marketing agencies?
No. UpperClass is a student creator platform that supplies agencies with authentic, rights-cleared student-generated content. Agencies continue to own campaign strategy, creative direction, media planning, and client relationships. UpperClass removes the content-sourcing bottleneck; it doesn't compete for the agency's role.
What is the UpperClass Global Content Hub?
The Global Content Hub (hub.upperclass.app) is a syndication library of approved student-created content from UpperClass partner institutions. Agencies and recruitment partners access it through private, tokenized links and can filter content by platform, student nationality, field of study, and use case, then share links or embed content directly on campaign and client pages.
Can education agents and recruitment partners use student content from UpperClass?
Yes. Institutions on UpperClass can provision private Content Hub access for their recruitment agents and partners. Each partner receives a tokenized link, optionally pre-filtered to relevant programs, markets, or nationalities, with every view and embed tracked back to the institution's analytics.
How do agencies get usage rights for student content?
Usage rights are handled upstream. Every creator on UpperClass joins under a creator agreement, and every asset is reviewed and approved by the institution before it enters the Content Hub. Agencies working from the hub can use approved assets within the scope the institution has authorized. No per-asset negotiation required.
How does an agency become an UpperClass partner?
Agencies can partner with UpperClass in two ways: as a delivery partner running student creator programs on behalf of institutional clients, or as a distribution partner using the Global Content Hub to support recruitment and campaigns. Start at upperclass.app/partners or email team@upperclass.app.
What does UpperClass cost for agency-led engagements?
Pilot terms are scoped to the institution's size, markets, and delivery model, and agency partners run engagements on wholesale terms that leave room for their own margin. Content Hub access for authorized partners is provisioned by the institution at no extra per-seat cost. For a quote on a specific engagement, email team@upperclass.app or book a call with Mark.
