The Campaign

Working closely with Ficep UK directors and sales team, we deliver a strategic communications campaign that includes website content, traditional and social media, video support, and event promotion. Our partnership approach ensures consistent messaging across platforms, reinforcing Ficep UK’s role as a leader in the industry.

Our campaign includes a range of original content that showcases Ficep UK’s investments in its team, facilities, and technical capabilities. From industry news to customer success stories, each activity reflects Ficep UK’s dedication to delivering quality that meets individual customer needs.

Campaign highlights include:
-    Promoting new product launches and innovations

-    Supporting attendance at industry exhibitions, such as MACH 24
-    Supporting recruitment initiatives through job promotions and employee engagement.

Our social media management delivers regular, original, engaging content that resonates with Ficep UK’s audience. We balance technical updates with relatable posts, celebrating milestones such as Ficep UK’s recent 25th anniversary, sponsored events and team spotlights. This blend of informative and human interest content has driven increased engagement, leading to more website visits and enhanced brand visibility. 

Besides the digital campaign, we also provide hands-on support in creating marketing collateral. From literature, to ads and sponsorship materials, everything aligns with Ficep UK’s brand identity and sales objectives.

We ensure that themes such as team growth, customer support, and operational investments remain at the forefront of communications. Most recently we have highlighted Ficep’s new apprenticeship programme and infrastructure developments, further positioning them as an industry leader.
