The Situation

Reach Social Enterprises is the trading arm of Reach Social Foundation, a Southampton charity supporting adults with learning disabilities. They came to me just after forming, at the very start of the journey.

The enterprise sells commercial services, and every sale supports the charity's mission. They needed a brand and online presence that could do both jobs.

The Problem

A social enterprise talks to two audiences at once. Commercial customers want to know they're getting a professional service. Supporters want to see the mission. A brand that leans too far either way loses one of them.

They also had to get noticed quickly, because the enterprise needed paying work to keep going.

What I Did

I built the brand and website, with a visual identity that feels professional to commercial partners and still carries the charity's values.

Then I took on the ongoing marketing. I manage their social media and run an outreach plan to bring in visibility and new opportunities. I go along to their events to capture content, so their channels show what the enterprise does in real life.

The Outcome

Their social audience has grown past 2,000 followers, with engagement rising month on month. The brand looks consistent and professional everywhere it appears.

Through the team's own hard work and our ongoing collaboration, Reach Social Enterprises has reached full operational capacity. I'm still supporting them as they grow across Southampton and the South Coast.

In their words: "Having Jamie on hand to help and assist with our brand awareness, it's certainly taken the stress out of my life."
