Dramatically increasing visibility and engagement across social media

 

The Paterson Group is an established employment agency and training provider, comprising of three specialist divisions; Paterson Health & Social Care, Paterson Recruitment and Paterson Training.

What we did for them

The Paterson Group wanted to outsource its social media activity to a specialist agency that would develop a strategic approach and increase the awareness of its expertise across the sectors it hires in and generate new leads.

The results

Since taking the reins across Twitter and Facebook, channels we have been able to generate engagement from passive and active jobseekers, alongside key sector publications and organisations in the sectors Paterson Group specialises in.

These include:

Paterson Health & Social Care – A range of sector titles including Carehome.co.uk, Care Industry News, Learning Disability Today, Nursing Notes and Nursing In Practice, as well as organisations such as the Care Quality Commission, GPN Student Nurse Network, National Health Executive, NHS Confederation, Oxfordshire Association of Care Providers, The Queen’s Nursing Institute and many more

Paterson Recruitment – Publications such as Hospitality & Catering News, The Manufacturer, Manufacturing Management, Retail Gazette, UK Haulier and industry bodies including the Freight Trade Association and Institute of Customer Service

Paterson Training – Specialist titles including HR News, HR Review, Training Journal and Training Zone
