ENHANCED SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING CAMPAIGN

For 2020, we believe additional measures should be taken to highlight the prestige of the Journalism Awards, and to honour the people who make these awards a reality. An enhanced social media marketing campaign, which will run in the lead up to the event and beyond, will give sponsors the recognition for supporting the work of individual journalists and the built environment media.

Launching across digital and traditional channels, the social media marketing campaign is an unmissable opportunity for sponsors to capitalise on a new platform for exposure, not just on the day of the awards, but for the full lifecycle of the campaign, pre- and post-event.

The planned social media marketing campaign will treat the Journalism Awards with the respect, attention and care a modern event of its stature deserves and is designed to build excitement and anticipation in the weeks and months leading up to the awards presentations.

 

DIGITAL LAYER

This year’s edition of the Journalism Awards will be a thoroughly modern affair, with the development of an enhanced digital layer. This virtual version will run alongside the traditional event and will allow the awards to not just forge ahead but thrive in the face of the challenge posed by COVID-19 legislation.

With the implementation of both the digital layer and the social media marketing campaign, there has truly never been more options and opportunities for sponsors to consider. As well as posing an exciting initiative in itself  the digital layer presents a completely new platform to be capitalised on for branding and sponsorship purposes.

We have partnered with leaders in the industry of virtual events – Live Group –  to deliver this digital layer, who will produce this cutting-edge solution.

Functionally, the digital layer will provide a place to watch the Journalism Awards online if you are unable to attend the event itself. It will also be the home for pre- and post-event content, and a place to network during the event, wherever you may be.

 

SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE

Examples of the printed marketing material and branding opportunities can be sent on request. Last year’s Awards Bulletin and recorded highlights can be viewed on the IBP website homepage video library link www.ibp.org.uk
