We love to shout loud and proud about our amazing partners. Our Partner page is live on the website and this year we will focus most of our social media and PR activity in April and May to make maximum impact! Read on for key dates and to find out how you can make the most of our partnership.

1. Partner announcements – starting Wednesday 10th April – Amplifying our partners’ support like never before! We will run collective shout-outs for our partner categories and tag your companies. We want to significantly increase the visibility and impact of your involvement. 
2. SDG / Challenge Announcements – Week of 1st May – We will be announcing each of the five Challenge themes in the lead up to the Showcase, as supported by our Challenge Champions, showcasing student ideas and the companies that support them through engaging multimedia.
3. Showcase PR campaign launching in May – Highlighting key annual activities in press and media, especially our Showcase, for significant public engagement. We’ll share the press release, B!G Idea imagery and more in your resources folder so you can share!
4. Mentor and Partner Impact reports in early June – New for 2024 and landing directly in your inboxes, our re-designed partner impact reports will showcase the tangible impact of your partnerships and will be designed to share on social media!

Mentor blogs will once again be shared on our website and with students – these will focus on our amazing mentors, their careers and companies and how they employ creative and critical thinking on a day-to-day basis. Check out some of our previous Mentor Blogs and get your team to take part!

Create a 30-second celebration video from your mentors and teams for the Showcase, highlighting student achievements. Deadline to submit will be Tues April 30th. 

Full brief and examples from last year available here.

In every Mentor and Partner lead dashboard you’ll find a handy social media banner tool. It’s so easy for your mentors to share and tell the world about all the wonderful work you are doing as a company to develop the creative potential of our young people. Just head to ‘Extras’!
