Dancing Data

Data, data everywhere, and scarcely a drop of value... The true value of data is unlocked through context and presentation. -- bryce.vc

USjournal produces plenty of data, primarily via spreadsheets of prospective student traffic generated as a result of each advertiser's campaign with us. It's important information, of course -- but it doesn't have to be ugly.

We're exploring new ways to present that data in more visually-appealing ways. For example, here's an infogram we recently generated for Georgia State University's Intensive Engish Program for calendar year 2012:

GSU-IEP Traffic via USjournal, 2012

GSU's choice to advertise in Spanish, French, Portuguese and Turkish has paid off handsomely.

Current USjournal advertisers may request complimentary, customized infograms at any point by contacting cheryl@USjournal.com

Prospective advertisers are invited to select one of our current clients that resemble your campus profile, so we can produce appropriate data in your targeted language markets:

FundsV Update

We anticipate transitioning our global network of financial institutions from 2,800 banks to more than 10,000 banks during calendar year 2013. As such, we've eliminated the set-up fees for host campuses to register at FundsV, for a limited time. Review the proposal, and send the completed document to cheryl@FundsV.com (We're also happy to schedule and online demo at your convenience.)
