Brackmills BID is our longest-standing client relationship, with 15 years of partnership we are truly proud of.

Our support covers the Northamptonshire estate’s website, fortnightly e-newsletters, annual reviews, press and media, their social channels, and all things communications.

This year, one of our favourite projects has been launching a Business Spotlight series - chatting with businesses from across the estate to find out what makes them tick.

Recent features include:
🧡 Padel Social House (soon to be the Midlands' biggest padel venue)
🧡 Trilogy Active's brand-new 10,000 sq ft gym
🧡 Store Secure 365's flexible container storage
🧡 Redi-Lift Learning's forklift training school
🧡 HARTING's sustainability story as it marks 80 years in business

We have also loved helping promote Brackmills BID's 2026 Charity Partners: the Motor Neurone Disease Association (Northamptonshire), The Wildlife Trust for Beds, Cambs & Northants, Creating Tomorrow Trust, the Northampton Supports Ukraine Appeal, and Brackmills Food Bank.

Working with Zinc Digital truly is a partnership.

Over the past year, this superb Northamptonshire based digital agency has built and relaunched our website, as well as supporting us with our SEO, social media and some of our paid campaigns. As their partner, we in turn look after their press releases, media relationships and award applications.

A big part of that is telling the story of the work Zinc does for businesses across the UK.

A few highlights over the past year:

🧡Interviewing their clients and securing press coverage on the difference Zinc makes.

🧡Following their ongoing support for Maggie’s Northampton. So far they’ve raised nearly £2,500 through a Snowdon climb, Silverstone Run Fest and a 30km walk.

🧡Helping them to celebrate their 20th birthday with a campaign that got people talking.

🧡Securing two wins at the Northants Chamber Awards. This year, they’re finalists again in two categories.

A huge thank you to the team - this is a partnership we are deeply proud of.

Some clients you work FOR. Groundwork Northants is one we work WITH - and have done for years.

This year has been a particularly brilliant one. At the start of the year, we launched the monthly content theme ‘Grow With Groundwork’ giving the team a space to shout about everything from Twywell and Green Patch to Green Doctors, Grow Cook Eat and corporate volunteering days.

Then in May, the news dropped that the Green Patch in Kettering had secured a grant from the National Lottery Community fund to launch ‘Go Greener @ The Green Patch’. With new Nature Rangers sessions, a Green Forum, repair cafes, weekend volunteering and more, the 2.5-acre community garden has opened up for even more people.

We helped to secure strong press coverage and get this amazing news in front of the right audiences, resulting in record engagement across Groundwork Northamptonshire’s Facebook and LinkedIn!
This is what we love most about long-term partnerships - not just celebrating the big stories, but building them month by month 🧡

Working with Mission Direct since the start of the year has been a brilliant experience.

Mission Direct is a small charity who have been committed to partnering with locally-led projects across Africa, Asia and the Caribbean for over 21 years. Their hard work and dedication (powered entirely by voluntary giving) has:
- Sent more than 600 volunteer teams
- Supported the construction of 55 schools
- Helped transform over 305,000 young lives

We couldn’t be prouder to have helped them to design and launch Mission Maker Month this June - a campaign which successfully raised the target of £30,000 in 30 days.

We helped create a fundraising pack, worked with the team on the social assets, and secured some great press coverage - with more to come in the next few weeks.
