Core Campaigns

Last term we ran two initiatives as part of the service, one for Bullying and one for New Year resolutions.

  • For Anti Bullying Week in November, we displayed messages on over 50,000 PCs and provided tailored college micro sites to over 120 institutions across the UK. Students could follow the links for further advice and support or anonymously post a message to the College.
  • For New Year we displayed messages relating to exercise, quitting smoking, alcohol and eating healthily. In two weeks the campaign had over 400,000 views and 10,000 clicks.

New Creatives

We are currently designing a range of new creatives for PSHE to assist and support communications at our school partners.

Changing Team

The YB team is changing as the service grows and develops – James and Annabel work with our School and agency partners while Liz, Leona and, from the beginning of March Becky, look after our college and agency partners. William and Justin are also working with agencies and government bodies across the country. If you need any help or have any feedback, please visit our contact page.
