Thurrock Council

The Challenge

Voice worked with Thurrock Council to encourage people back into Thurrock’s town centres and to shop local in the aftermath of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Voice was also tasked to create and roll out a new visual identity for Grays and South Ockendon Markets, engaging with local small businesses to promote the support available to them through Thurrock Council and the Welcome Back fund.

Voice carried out a range of PR and marketing activity. This included a media relations strategy, a rebrand process including the creation of a new logo and signage, Facebook advertising strategy and social media content creation.
