Purple partners with discover.film and University Quarter Hull

Posted on | Updated on

discover.film and Purple have teamed up to deliver a WiFi-based solution that allows students of UQH to access discover.film’s video streaming platform. Purple, who has been working alongside UQH since 2018, supplies UQH students with free and fast access to WiFi. The WiFi access journey now includes a branded collaboration with discover.film, which sees students who have logged onto the wifi with their university credentials to be greeted with their unique promotional offer from discover.fim in the form of an online splash page, which leads students to adedicated webpage to redeem the offer. 

discover.film has always supported students and offers the Craghopper’s student short film prize for £1,000 at its annual film festival – The Discover Film Awards. discover.film is very excited to extend its relationships further by offering students at the University of Hull the chance to enjoy the platform for an amazing discount: 1 month free + 70% off annual fee.

The discover.film platform combines an immense range of genres and languages which makes it inclusive for all audiences. From short movies, comedies, dramas, kids series, and incredible Oscar-winning performances, viewers can get the most out of this extensive library of entertainment.

Sarah Thomson, CEO & Co-founder of discover.film added, “We are delighted to be partnering with Purple and UQH to deliver the most entertaining short-form content to students, building on our mission to make quality shorts mainstream.”

Gavin Wheeldon, CEO of Purple, noted “Partnering with discover.film has given UQH an exciting opportunity to increase student satisfaction leveraging our WiFi platform. Free WiFi and exclusive access to relevant, exciting video content is something that an audience such as students will highly enjoy and we are pleased to enable this entertainment space for them. It is exciting to see the uptake of this combined solution and the long-term impact of this partnership.”
