A new communications group has been launched by Westside BID to help promote local businesses and the wider district.
The ‘Westside Marketing Squad’ will enable sales, marketing and communications professionals to liaise and work together on various ideas to publicise what’s happening in the area.
The new initiative will have its own designated and ongoing private group chat on WhatsApp for members to remain in daily communication, share ideas or request promotional support from the BID on particular offers, campaigns or events.
The BID will also arrange in-person meetings every other month for members to present their plans and hear about future media opportunities and events.
Luisa Huggins, (pictured above), communications manager at Westside BID, said: “The new Westside Marketing Squad concept was suggested by Naomi Edwards, a BID director who is also the marketing director of Siamais and Lulu Wild restaurants.
“It’s a great idea and one that we at the BID are excited to help organise and run for members, hopefully helping them to deliver improved promotions that bring more footfall to the area.”
