It’s official: the NextGrad team runs on salt and spice (and everything nice, of course 😉).

We recently surveyed the team to settle the classic Savory vs. Sweet showdown. With a tight 58.8% to 41.2% split (10 votes to 7), Savory takes the crown this round!

Our individual office snack drawers are just as diverse as our skill sets.

Your website is stacked with valuable content, but getting real human eyes on it feels harder than ever.

With online ad fatigue at an all-time high, the strongest top-of-funnel strategies start in the "real" world.

Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising drives real-world awareness that instantly converts to digital curiosity:

➡️ +44% increase in online search queries among Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

By placing targeted messaging on in-school and community displays, higher ed institutions, military organizations, and public health campaigns drive high-intent, bot-free traffic directly to their web pages.
