We’ve just launched our new microsite (www.marketing-impact.co.uk/housing) which showcases our expertise in the area of Social Housing.  With over eight years of experience working with LSVTs and traditional associations ranging in size from 2,000 to 50,000 properties, we feel right at home with housing.  And we have developed a vast portfolio of design for print and web, through to PR, publishing and branding etc.

For the latest in our monthly series to mark Marketing Impact’s 20th anniversary, we’re looking at How to get the most from your creative agency.  We’d like to suggest some ways in which agencies and clients can work more productively together to ensure higher quality, more efficient output and also save you time and money.

Over the past eight years we have developed considerable expertise in the area of Social Housing marketing communications. The spread of work found in social housing from magazines to websites, annual reports to PR and handbooks to development gives our studio huge variety and on the account management side bags of interest.

We’ve just completed our first job for new client Affinity Sutton.  The mailing and web page gives residents advice and information on how they can save energy and money too by following some simple steps.

In collaboration with tenants, local authorities, housing associations and many other partners, the TSA has developed a document which sets out the new regulatory framework that social housing providers have to meet from April 2010. Its aim is to help improve the services provided for the eight million people who live in social rented and shared ownership homes in England. At its heart are six standards, and against each of these, the TSA has described the outcomes landlords should meet and the specific expectations of them.
