Raising brand awareness for Unity Mutual

Unity Mutual is the financial services brand of the Oddfellows, one of the largest and oldest friendly societies in the UK with over 360,000 UK members. It offers a wide range of investments and savings products for people of all ages.

We were appointed to develop and deliver a PR and influencer campaign that would generate headlines and raise awareness of Unity Mutual and its range of savings products.

The campaign was a roaring success, generating 54 pieces of high-quality on and offline coverage, including the Mail Online, Daily Mail, Daily Express, Daily Mirror, The Independent, Metro, Yahoo, Daily Star, MSN and AOL. We also secured coverage in many of the big regional papers, including Manchester Evening News, Yorkshire Evening Post, Bristol Post, Newcastle Journal and Birmingham Post.

The two influencers we worked with to amplify the campaign both produced social videos and static posts, which were published across their Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook and X accounts, reaching over 35,000 people and generating high levels of engagement and click throughs to the Unity Mutual website.
