South Norfolk District Council manage five leisure facilities in the region; sports centres, gyms, swimming pools and outdoor courts. After a three-month period of enforced closure due to lockdown they were keen to make people aware that they were open for business once more, encouraging them back and to take out membership.

Understandably the issue of safety was uppermost in people’s minds, so we created the strapline ‘We’re ready when you are’ to reassure prospective visitors the facilities were adhering to government safety guidelines. This was backed up by messaging which emphasised the safety message, as well as the benefits of taking out membership.

To reach those who would benefit most from the message, we created bespoke advertising images and ran social media, Google Search and Google Display campaigns, using careful audience targeting and pertinent keyphrases to maximise results against ad spend.
