Plan a Kent campaign
What a Kent brief looks like
Most Kent flyer campaigns are local. There is a venue, a show, an opening or a town-centre moment, and a date it has to land before. The useful question is who lives, drinks, shops or queues near that moment — not how to put paper into every corner of the county.
That is why a Kent brief usually centres on one town or local catchment rather than the county as a whole. The exact places are agreed on the brief, once we know the audience, the date and what the flyer is asking people to do. The plan stays tied to the campaign rather than to a map.
The method is hand-to-hand: flyers and leaflets given to people outside venues, in queues, in nightlife areas, on high streets and around shows. It is not a letterbox drop and it is not a county-wide blanket.
The main flyer and leaflet distribution page defines the service across London and Kent. This page is about how a Kent brief is usually shaped.
Plan a Kent campaignKent's principal catchments
Kent is not one audience. A campaign is planned around an individual town or local catchment and a date, rather than trying to reach the whole county in one drop. These are the principal places a Kent flyer or leaflet brief can centre on.
In mid and west Kent, that might be an event audience in Maidstone, a show night in Tunbridge Wells, or a town-centre launch in Tonbridge or Sevenoaks. In north Kent, it could be Dartford or Gravesend ahead of a local date, or Medway, with Rochester at its historic centre.
In east Kent and on the coast, a brief might centre on Canterbury, Ashford or Folkestone, or on Margate and the wider Thanet catchment when a seaside venue or event needs people to turn up.
Naming a town does not mean every street in it. The exact places, times and sessions are agreed on the brief, around where the audience will actually be.
Campaigns are planned around Kent's principal towns and catchments: Maidstone, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Ashford, Dartford, Gravesend, Folkestone, Margate and Thanet, and Medway. Each brief is shaped around one of these places, or a small group of them, and the date it has to land. It is not a promise to cover every street in a town, or the whole county at once.
Every Kent brief gets answered in this order. Quantity is near the end on purpose.
Regulars at one venue, people in a town centre on a particular evening, a festival or event audience, families near an attraction. Name the people before naming the places.
A catchment around the venue, event or moment — agreed on the brief. Being in the right few places at the right time beats being spread thinly across the county.
Before the on-sale, in the week of the show, on the night itself. The date usually decides more about the plan than the quantity does.
The format and the message: what it is, when, where, and the one thing to do next. Anything else belongs on the page the flyer points to.
Quantity comes last, once the audience, place, timing and message are clear. It follows the plan rather than leading it.
A ticket page, an RSVP, a sign-up or a website. A QR code or short URL gives a countable signal. It does not prove every sale came from the flyer.
Where the plan can fit
These are the kinds of briefs a Kent flyer plan can fit. They are campaign contexts, not a client list. What they share is a local audience and a moment worth being told about in person.
A specific date to sell, a regular crowd to reach, or a programme that needs more people to know about it.
Awareness in the surrounding area before the event, and a clear route to tickets or information.
A live night, a launch or a seasonal programme that depends on local people turning up.
A show, season or event where the audience is local and the date matters.
One-off shows and series that need people in the area to hear about them in time.
An opening, an offer or an event where a person-to-person moment makes sense.
After the flyer
A flyer is a short moment. What it points to decides whether that moment turns into anything. A Kent flyer campaign can stand alone; these are the places it most often connects to other work.
If the flyer sends people to buy a ticket, the ticket page has to work on a phone in the street. That on-sale and ticket work sits with Sell The Show.
If it sends people to a venue, event or artist website, the date, the place and the next step should be on the first screen. That is Digital & Creative work.
If people search the name after taking a flyer, they should find it. That is search and digital visibility.
If the aim is to reach the same people again next time, a sign-up on the landing page does more than the flyer can on its own. That is audience building.
