Experience

We created Experience Salisbury in our last term… It is a website, social media channel and suite of offline marketing activities dedicated to promoting the city. Already the go-to ‘what’s on’ guide for Salisbury, it brings together event listings, business profiles, offers, news, blogs, and travel guides. The platform passionately champions Salisbury as a retail, culture, and heritage destination not to be missed.

Bespoke Campaigns

We create bespoke campaigns to promote each of our city's thriving business sectors.

By using our expertise in digital and physical promotion, we highlight the wonderful mix of businesses our city has to offer.

During Indies Week in July 2023, we launched a campaign promoting Salisbury as 'Your City of Independents.' Combining billboards, posters, digital and print advertising, a stand-out video trailer and a tote bag giveaway. It was coordinated, consistent and impactful.

We continue to champion and support our independents with campaigns during July and December as well as regular promotion as part of our 'Saturday Spotlight' series.

We analyse the impact of all of our campaigns, online and offline, and always prioritise activities which are making a difference.  Discover Experience Salisbury for yourself by going to experiencesalisbury.co.uk or following us on Facebook and Instagram.
