We've now completed the evaluation of last summer’s  #BeACouncillor campaign. It shows that the campaign was effective in reaching our target audiences and resulted in a number of people coming forward to political parties to be candidates.

Some key highlights are:

• over half a million social media timelines reached
• 923 views of our ‘Be a councillor’ microsite
• 400 people engaged with at various events
• 20 people registered for more information on becoming a councillor
• 65% of people who registered an interest met one or more of the target market characteristics.

Thank you again to those who helped to promote the campaign. If you'd like a copy of the full evaluation, please email communications@reigate-banstead.gov.uk .
