Home Who we are Courses Funded Courses eLearning Funding for Employers Recruitment Partners Contact PAYE Test Digital Marketing Partner Mainstream is managing a project part funded by the ESF which is targeted towards delivering training to employees in entry level jobs throughout the South East LEP (SELEP) region. As part of this project we wish to appoint a marketing agent to manage a social media and email campaign to promote the project to SME employers throughout the SELEP region. The project offers six training pathways; LGV class 1 driver training, LGV class 2 driver training, Forklift truck training, social care training, Streetworks (construction road worker) training and general life skills workshops. The project will run between April 2021 and September 2023. The maximum budget for the management of the marketing campaign is £25,000. We envisage that we will pay for paid advertising and consumables such as Google Adwords and printed materials directly. As part of the advertising campaign the marketing agent will be required to; Carry out a full review of Mainstream’s existing social media platforms to ensure that they are suitable for the successful running of the campaign. You will be provided with access to these platforms so that you have full management of the campaigns you propose. We are open to you making changes to, adding for or deleting our existing platforms. Carry out a full review of Mainstream’s existing website, which is in Word Press and is hosted by our IT support contractors, to ensure that it is suitable to support your proposed email and social media campaign. You will be permitted to add landing pages and content to our website, any such changes should be included within your proposal and any associated costs included within your price. Design, implement and fully manage an intensive social media and email marketing campaign designed to reach SME employers throughout the SELEP region. You will be expected to draft (for our approval) all content which should be professionally presented and engaging. Your campaign should include the comprehensive and regular reporting of results to us and a contingency plan to deal with any underperformance. The target success rate is to attract 4,500 participants to the project between April 21 and September 23.A participant is an employee who is mandated by their employer to attend one of our training pathways. It is likely that a single employer may provide more than one participant. The success rate needs to be reasonably level throughout the project line so your proposal will need to demonstrate how this will be achieved. Provide a comprehensive and targeted advice as to the sourcing of a contacts database of SME employers throughout the SELEP region. Engage with other project stakeholders such as local chambers of commerce, SELEP and trade bodies to encourage and promote marketing of the project through their channels (websites, social media, etc). Design a full colour, A3 folded to a 4 page A5 size, leaflet for each of the 6 training pathways. This will need to be delivered by 1st April. Design 6 different pull up roller banners. These will need to be delivered by 1st April. Your proposal should clearly detail the following; How you propose to meet the requirements of (a) to (g) above.
