Aston & James Marketing Excellence Award entry
In October 2021, Aston & James launched a mobile well-being pop-up as a tangible display of our commitment to helping employers support their staff's well-being regardless of their work location. This initiative is aimed at promoting the long-term health of individuals in the workplace while fostering a positive, engaged, and high-performing workforce.
The campaign has been successful in keeping Aston & James visible, relevant, and aligned with the growing importance and consideration of well-being in the workplace. Moreover, it has enabled us to support our customers in re-evaluating their workspace or workplace, regardless of their location, and initiating positive conversations about change where needed. This includes encouraging individuals to incorporate more movement into their working day, thus promoting overall well-being.
Like any campaign we had goals to create visibility, ultimately helping to put us back out there proactive and support local businesses and people.
