Bisk Education, the nation‘s leading facilitator of online degree and certificate programs, announced today that it has acquired CollegeClickTV, an online video library showcasing more than 30,000 video reviews from 200+ colleges and universities across the country.
The acquisition will complement Bisk‘s existing portfolio of online resources designed to help college-bound students connect with universities. "Acquiring CollegeClickTV was a strategic move to help Bisk continue its mission of delivering solutions to simplify a student's search for the ideal educational program," said Nathan M. Bisk, founder and chairman of Bisk Education. "The addition of CollegeClickTV will enhance the spectrum of educational resources we can offer to students to ensure that they have access to the top-quality information they need to achieve lasting success."
CollegeClickTV provides a one of a kind, 360 degree view of colleges and universities from across the nation. Videos include testimonials from students, professors, faculty, staff and even local merchants. The authentic, unscripted approach has won praise from students, administrators and counselors alike. Each college page includes statistics about the school, ratings, a listing of video categories, and links to other social media pages associated with the school.
Glenn Pere, President & Chief Creative Director of Pere360, an advertising agency located in NYC, founded CollegeClickTV as a research tool for current and prospective college students to get the 'behind the scenes' experience of what the school is really like from the students‘ perspective. Together with partner and Director of Business Development Rob Aronson, they built a national presence and trusted resource. "Only when I found the perfect partner in Bisk Education did I know that we had found a fantastic home for CollegeClickTV to be taken to the next level," Pere said.
"CollegeClickTV is evolving the insider college experience through direct access to those who know the most about it—the students," said Adrian Marrullier, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Bisk. "The new website, which has access to hundreds of schools and thousands of student interviews, is helping high school students and their parents make informed college decisions through unscripted peer-to-peer video review content."
CollegeClickTV provides a platform for students to 'visit' as many colleges as possible, helping them to make the most informed decision possible.
"Finding the right college in today‘s tough economic times is harder than ever," said Matthew Speer, Director of Sales and Marketing. "Not only are parents concerned about picking an affordable school, but the cost of visiting schools has dramatically gone up. We are pleased to offer a resource for parents and students to find out about everything from curriculum to campus life without ever leaving the house or breaking the bank."
With the acquisition, Bisk will continue to expand the number of schools and videos featured on CollegeClickTV over the next several months. For more information, visit CollegeClickTV.com.
