Chegg Adds Brand Partnerships to Bring More Value to Students


"We have moved from a company that talks to students two days a year to being relevant to them 300 days a year," said Mr. Rosensweig, a former chief operating officer at Yahoo who prior to coming to Chegg was president-CEO of Activision's Guitar Hero Division. He joined Chegg in February 2010 and said the company has been approached by a series of high-profile marketers about potential partnerships. "We've built a very powerful base to help top brands reach students," he said.
