Thrive has been awarded the job of
managing the event marketing for local
charity, Butterwick Hospice.
Having crafted a careful strategy for both
the design of promotional materials and a
content plan for social media messaging, as
well as creating a PR plan with neighbouring
Aycliffe firm Mantis Media, Thrive won the
job to publicise the rugby-themed event.
The Butterwick Hospice Sportsman’s
Dinner takes place on Friday 18th September
and celebrates the opening of the Rugby
World Cup 2015 at the prestigious Hardwick
Hall, Sedgefield.
Guests will be treated to a hosted
reception, three course dinner and the
opening ceremony and first rugby match –
England v Fiji – of the World Cup, screened
in full.
Thrive is overseeing the marketing of the
event and will also be in attendance on the
evening, to help cheer England on in their
first match of the competition.
Thrive director Rachel Townsend Green
said: “It’s great for our team to get stuck into
such a fantastic project, particularly with it
raising funds for Butterwick Hospice, which
provides such an amazing level of support to
so many local people.
“Our content marketing team are crafting
a social media strategy while our creative
teams pull together some fantastic designs
for the event – it’s going to be a wonderful
evening for all who attend.”
The event will feature Leicester Tigers’
centre and England player, Manu Tuilagi, who
is heavily tipped to feature in the 2016 Six
Nations competition. Manu will host a Q&A
session during the evening and provide half
time commentary.
If that wasn’t enough, legendary snooker
player and hilarious MC, Willie Thorne, will be
providing entertainment too.
There will also be an auction on the night
to help raise funds for Butterwick Hospice.
Butterwick Hospice fundraising team
leader Clair McGregor said: “The opportunity
to run this incredible event came at really
short notice so we knew we had to be able
to reach a wide amount of people in a very
limited time frame.
“With this challenge, we needed a team
who could support our existing resources
and Thrive has the exact approach and
abilities that we need to achieve this.”
Butterwick Hospice provides a number of
services for those of all ages, who are living
with a progressive life limiting illness. The
hospice relies on charitable donations to help
