How can Heritage Buzz help you?

Heritage Buzz is the perfect solution for anyone in the heritage or arts and culture sector, who has a tight budget but a need to be ‘out there’, attracting visitors or customers. We offer three tiers of support – Gold, Silver and Bronze – spanning:

Public
relations

PR boosts consumer awareness of your offering and keeps your image polished.

Social Media
Planning

Social media helps you engage with your potential visitor.

Content
Creation

Content – articles and blogs – helps you be found in search engines, build further bonds with visitors and, most importantly, suit the needs of latest algorithms, who want to see you being ‘helpful’.

PR
Coaching

Coaching allows us to talk through your own scenarios, help you discover the ‘nuggets’ that you should be promoting and guides you through the process of how to promote these to the outer world.

Marketing 1:1s and coaching from an award-winning team

Our 1:1 coaching is delivered by PR and content supremos, who have won top national and regional PR and content marketing awards and accolades in the travel and culture sectors.

This is where we are unique and deliver exceptional value.

Awards for Best PR campaign, Best Arts and Culture Campaign, Best Media Relations Campaign, Best Use of Content and Best Travel, Tourism and Leisure Campaign proliferate in our awards cabinet at Catapult PR – the agency behind Heritage Buzz.

In the past six years, we have achieved eight finalists’ positions at the prestigious national CIPR Excellence Awards’, solely for campaigns conducted for heritage-sector clients. We have won 2 of the 8, despite working to very modest budgets. We have also won more of these crème de la crème national awards for other clients, putting us at the pinnacle of our profession when it comes to performance by a regional PR agency.

In 2022, we also took the second place, Highly Commended, in the national Travel Marketing Awards. This was again for a heritage sector client. In the same year, we won four PR/marketing awards for a heritage visitor attraction and in 2023, we won another four.

If we can’t help you find the right strategy for your marketing, it’s hard to know who can. The inspiration and mentoring you derive from us, could be just the spark your marketing needs.

Group Marketing

All Heritage Buzz members will:

  • have their stories highlighted on Heritage Buzz social media channels.
  • have their other news shared, as and when we spot it.
  • be involved in ‘group’ press releases and press releases on certain themes (where relevant), once we have established a core membership.
  • have a profile on a Heritage Buzz website, once our numbers are high enough to warrant it.
  • be included in Heritage Buzz newsletters, once we have built a strong list.
  • be involved in Heritage Buzz member Zoom sessions, so you can network with other members, if you wish.

Research

Heritage Buzz has its fingers on the pulse of the heritage sector. In 2020, it carried out consumer research that highlighted what consumers wanted of a heritage attraction. You can download that piece of research here.

But the great news is that Gold members of Heritage Buzz will have access to the latest piece of research that we’ve carried out, giving them great direction and insight for the 2023 season!

What are you waiting for?

There’s nothing else like this in your sector and nothing that will give you such exceptional value, provided by top award-winning experts.
