Crossroads Care

Crossroads Care is Britain's leading provider of support for carers - a membership organisation with a national network of 130 local UK charities. They employ 5,500 staff and support over 35,000 carers. The majority of their work is commissioned and paid for by local authorities. With limited awareness and heightened competition from commercial care providers they required an extensive marketing programme to help with awareness and sustainable growth.

SEED Marketing Communications delivered a new brand for Crossroads that has been accepted and in the majority of cases loved - and given there are over 5,000 people in Crossroads that is quite an achievement.
