Her transparent, deliverables based working model is a real deal in times when companies struggle with excess overheads, while not being able to measure the value convincingly.

Community Point – Lottery funded marketing campaign to launch new community programme
Lottery funded project to launch a community support programme connecting people suffering from isolation with local activities and support programmes
PP8 was asked to select and brief the creative and production teams to create the new brand identity and marketing plan for launch
The budget was minimal and would only be available once, so we developed a plan to maximise the budget and develop templates that the charity could use to create more professinal POS including: flags sandwich board, shop signage
Created a website and social media design template for the charity to be able to easily complete and adapt to new activities and events

“Paula worked with us on the launch of a new service called ‘Community Point’ in 2019. Community Point aims to help prevent loneliness and/or social isolation by making it easier for people to link in with existing social activities, services and volunteering opportunities in their local area. The service is free to residents within the Boroughs of Guildford and Waverley and is based at Voluntary Action South West Surrey in Castle Street, Guildford.“
