Content marketing for East Midlands

1284 provides marketing content that helps turn your ideas and expertise into clear comms that your stakeholders understand and act upon.

Making the value of your idea clear

Many organisations have valuable knowledge, evidence and stories - but struggle to communicate them consistently.

Whether it's developing specialist technology, leading a regional growth programme, creating social impact, their teams know why the work matters. The external audiences they need to influence, however, may not.

Content marketing closes that gap.

1284 turns often complex projects into clear marketing communications. That may mean helping your target customers better understand your proposition, give funders confidence in your pitch, evidence the impact of your project, or steadily build a public voice.

The result is stronger understanding among the people whose buy-in matters to your organisation.

What is content marketing?

Content marketing is the planned creation and consistent use of useful and engaging communications that help an organisation build trust, engagement and demand over time.

That means 1284 creating you a cross-platform pipeline of content built around the questions, opportunities and evidence that matter most to your target audiences.

Actionable content for a £1.3m business accelerator

Create Growth was a £1.3 million accelerator programme supporting creative businesses across the East Midlands.

1284 led a regional communications group involving multiple public and private sector delivery partners. We developed a website, optimised digital copy, press materials, social media assets and shared communications resources. It was all designed to support recruitment, delivery and reporting.

Our campaign generated more than 20,000 click-through referrals, secured 84 media mentions and received 189 small business applications - against a target of 100.

1284's content gave East Midlands Create Growth a shared story, a consistent brand toolkit and a practical structure for communicating the programme’s value.
