Falmouth Business Improvement District

Following our success working with Totally Truro Business Improvement District, mpad was asked to support the team of committed businesspeople in getting a BID in Falmouth off the ground.
Working alongside steering committee chairman Nigel Carpenter, proprietor of St Michael’s Hotel & Spa, as well as council regeneration officer Mel Richardson, we created a lobbying PR campaign to encourage businesses to get out and vote for a BID.
We generated weekly coverage in the run up to the ballot, creating case studies, setting up journalist briefings and setting up broadcast media interviews.

A total of 54% business took part in the ballot with 70% of these voting for the creating of a BID. Falmouth now has an additional £500,000 to spend on improvements in the town, including marketing, signage and events.
