Wider awareness raising
We launched an advertising campaign to promote the Lancashire and South Cumbria New Hospitals Programme
Key local media outlets were carefully chosen to ensure a variety of people from many different parts of the region heard key information about the programme.
The campaign ran for eight weeks in total across radio, print and digital media. It reached:
690,159 people in Preston and the surrounding areas
- Rock FM: advert played 312 times
- Lancashire Post: print advert ran twice, and digital content ran for one month

Press and media
Press releases were issued at key points in the process:
- to launch the New Hospitals Programme in March 2021
- to publicise the Case for Change in July 2021, and

We have also responded to a wide range of media enquiries.
Editorial coverage (earned news coverage as opposed to advertising) has been generated in a wide range of local media outlets.
