My Client

Dynamic Hertfordshire-based Dinky Dancers is a franchise focusing on physical movement for pre-school children. Part of Active Creative Ltd, the organisation is the brainchild of Lorry Edwards.

My Contribution

I set up a communication ‘toolkit’ for the franchisees. The idea was to give the franchisees the means to manage their own promotion while staying true to the brand. Each region has different needs – some will have a great local paper, others might find leaflets or posters useful. The toolkit had to be flexible enough to cater for all circumstances so franchisees felt supported but not constrained. As with all brands, Dinky Dancers is strengthened by both consistency and creativity. The toolkit included a best practice guide, story ideas,  and templates.

“The work Parachute Communication undertook for Active Creative Ltd, has withstood the test of time and changing business environments. The communications advice, the written templates, the ‘get your message out there’ package of materials, has been put into action time after time after time in our local business and Franchise network, with great results. Susanna Orchard’s knowledge, attention to detail, no nonsense approach and understanding of the changing communications world relevant to YOUR business is excellent. I would highly recommend a meeting to see what your business might need with Susanna and Parachute Communication.” Lorry Edwards, founder and director
