We’re working with ITV and advertising agency Pablo, who have created marketing campaigns for brands including Hovis, Holland & Barrett, BT Sport, and Comic Relief. We’re giving three SME owners the chance to win their own professionally filmed and produced advertisement, as well as tailored airtime, worth over £150,000 each.
For your chance to win, fill in the entry form and tell us why your business is extraordinary in 100 words or less. Entrants must be UK residents and aged 18 or over. Winners may be asked to take part in bank publicity in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
Entries must be received by Monday 2 November 2020 at 23:59hrs GMT. Terms and Conditions apply.
As any SME owner knows, building brand awareness and attracting new customers through marketing can be a challenge, especially if resources are limited. That’s why we’re offering three lucky businesses the chance to have their own advertisement, which will then be broadcast on the winner’s regional ITV channel. But it doesn’t stop there:
- 12 runners-up will receive access to the NatWest Accelerator programme, a six-month programme to help your business scale and succeed. It includes 1:1 coaching, mentors, legal and tech/IP advice and access to NatWest’s vast network of expertise. Also includes access to a bespoke mentoring session with ITV specialists on the best way to utilise TV, how it could benefit your business and how to leverage smaller budgets for advertising.
- 5 runners-up will receive a 1:1 coaching session with a NatWest Entrepreneur Development Manager or Scale-up Acceleration Manager to assess your business needs and offer tailored support.
- 50 runners-up will receive £250 LinkedIn ad spend vouchers to help your business find leads, traffic and new customers.
