North East LEP launches search for businesses to front free advertising campaign worth £500,000

We’re asking North East businesses and organisations to come forward with images to show why the North East is the place for businesses to invest, grow and prosper.

Today we have launched a competition for the region’s businesses to be part of a six week advertising campaign at Heathrow Airport.

We are the first of six British regions to be offered free advertising space worth £500,000 – and we are asking local businesses the chance to be featured in the adverts that will be seen across Heathrow Airport from Monday 18 May.

Businesses from across the region are invited to submit images that represent the North East as the place to invest – its businesses, leaders and representatives, innovation and skills.

We will select ten images to use in the campaign, which includes a video that will be used on digital platforms across all Heathrow terminals. A final image will also be chosen to front the campaign and be used on two poster sites at terminal 4 and 5.

So submit your photos – preferably portrait format – via Twitter. Tweet @northeastlep using the hashtag #openforbusiness or email them to [email protected]. All submitted images will also be displayed on our Pinterest account. Full competition terms and conditions.

The deadline for entries is Monday 27 April with the campaign launching at Heathrow Airport on Monday 18 May.
