The PR objective:
Fourth Day has worked with MHA since 2016, raising the profile of individual homes by telling the stories of residents and staff. Our objective is to support occupancy and recruitment targets by demonstrating what a fantastic place an MHA care home is to live and work.
We work on stories that celebrate everything from significant birthdays, and anniversaries, to once in a lifetime experiences, friendships, love, events and anything else that celebrates the joy of life within an MHA home.
We also work on standalone projects, such as the Moment of Joy campaign aimed at highlighting the importance of music therapy to people living with dementia.
“The team at Fourth Day have supported our work in showcasing how care homes help people live later life well. They understand what makes a story and how to share that to support our communications objectives in raising MHA’s profile as one of the best care providers."Theresa Knight PR Manager, MHA
