WANDSWORTH LIFELONG LEARNING

Wandsworth Lifelong Learning working with West Creative
 

In 2017, Santino Fragola, head of Lifelong Learning at Wandsworth Council got in touch.

The apprenticeship and Lifelong Learning market is crowded and the offer can sometimes be confusing. The challenge Santino and his team were facing was how to stand out as local providers. He needed an approach to better engage learners, employers and partners in the London Borough of Wandsworth.

Starting with research, we undertook a competitor analysis and a series of focus groups internally to identify both the gaps and opportunities.

The insights gained formed the foundation, creating a set of value propositions which formed the basis of a new brand identity. One that connected with the Local Authority and gave Wandsworth Lifelong Learning its own voice.

Wandsworth 'Worth it.'

A punchy, succinct message that encapsulates the value of Lifelong Learning and plays on the strength of the localised provision.

The worth it. 'W', is a quick visual identity used across all target audience groups. And the brand statement creates personality across various Calls to Action:

Worth a try.
Worth its weight.
Worth a look.
Worth following.
Worth your time.
Worth your investment.

MULTI-CHANNEL APPROACH TO MARKETING LIFELONG LEARNING

Responding to the research undertaken and the new brand strategy, West Creative developed a suite of deliverables across print and digital platforms, as well as developing video based Vox-pop content. Each element broadened the reach of the Wandsworth Lifelong Learning - utilising distinct channels and tone of message to reach the full breadth of their target audience. 

"Wandsworth Council Lifelong Learning is continuing to develop a successful relationship with West Creative. There has been excellent feedback on our new website and marketing materials. James has been conscientious in taking time to understand exactly what we need and this is achieving great results."
