Brandon Hill Plays Cupid for Broadmead

The approach is to connect with Bristol shoppers, capturing their affection, fondness and warmth for Broadmead.

Using Valentine’s Day as a hook, highlighting Broadmead’s history and heritage, Brandon Hill, Broadmead’s retained communications agency, has devised a campaign encouraging shoppers to ‘Rediscover their Love for Broadmead’.

A competition was staged in the Bristol Evening Post inviting readers’ memories of Broadmead. This ran over a two-week period with a prize of a £1,000 shopping spree.

Brandon Hill also generated a series of high-profile features across press and broadcast outlets.

On Valentine’s Day itself, Broadmead was brought to life with activities designed to increase footfall and to build customer affection. Shoppers were invited to:

  • See the Love
    A display of entries from the Evening Post competition alongside historic pictures of Broadmead sourced from loyal shoppers and Bristol library. An ‘I-spy’ trail was created for kids.
  • Feel the Love
    A free Broadmead photo booth gave shoppers the chance to have their photo taken with a loved one branded with the We Love Broadmead logo. Shoppers were also given branded pin badges and balloons.
  • Taste the Love
    Shoppers were offered Love Heart sweets, chocolate hearts and cupid biscuits.
  • Hear the Love
    Love-themed wandering street performers added to the festival feel.

We Love Broadmead follows Brandon Hill’s success in running the campaign to secure Business Improvement District status for Broadmead.

The campaign involved producing two newsletters, a DVD, website, running a media campaign and staging one-to-one meetings and drop-in sessions for Broadmead retailers.
