COMPLETERecognising the community spirit of the Great British Publican
Futureproof was tasked by Enterprise – the UK’s largest leased and tenanted pub company – with creating, developing and delivering an initiative to recognise the great work their Publicans undertake within local communities.
There was a need to drive positive PR, Publican engagement and industry recognition following a series of pub closures and the ongoing decline of the pub trade.
We launched ‘The Community Hero Awards’ to recognise Publicans who make a real difference to the communities they serve. A dedicated website was created that allows Publicans to use their Enterprise login details to gain access and enter the awards.
The campaign has been supported through PR, eRM’s, internal engagement of Enterprise employees and a YouTube video that gives a complete overview of the awards.
Launched in 2012, the inaugural awards ceremony saw 18 regional winners being given £5000 to spend on a community initiative of their choice, with one national winner being awarded a further £5,000 to invest.
