The Alive Christmas menu

We know Christmas can bring a particular mix of pressures.

Teams are stretched. Deadlines are looming. Important information needs to reach people before services close. And while it’s a joyful time for many, it can also intensify loneliness, financial anxiety, safety risks and the pressure to create a “perfect” Christmas.

Whatever the coming weeks have in store, we’re in your corner – with fresh thinking, creative energy and extra hands to help you through Christmas and into the new year.

So, what can we get you?

 

STARTERS A little inspiration to get things moving A fresh helping of ideas
Bring us your challenge, your half-formed plan or your “we haven’t got a clue yet”. We’ll find the human truth at the heart of it and cook up an idea your audience will actually care about.

A seasonal twist
Got a message that comes around every Christmas? We’ll give it a fresh creative twist that makes it feel exciting all over again.

A quick creative pick-me-up
Need some new thinking without a whole campaign? A brainstorm, creative session or fresh pair of eyes might be all it takes to get things moving.

 

THE MAIN COURSE Support where you need it most

Take it off your plate
The campaign that needs finishing. The content that needs writing. The design that needs doing yesterday. The urgent asset nobody has time for. We’ll help get it sorted.

Give important messages some bite
Something people need to know, feel or do? We’ll help you find the words and creative approach that help get them noticed and make the next step clear. Think road safety, fraud and online shopping, batteries and fire safety, healthcare, service changes, bin collections, warm homes or winter support.

Serve up the essentials
Opening hours. Deadlines. Closures. Collections. Service changes. Emergency contacts. We’ll turn the information people need into clear, useful content they’ll understand.

A helping of winter reassurance
Christmas isn’t the only thing happening. From severe weather and winter preparedness to cost-of-living pressures and keeping warm, we can help people navigate the colder months with confidence.

Something everyone can get behind
Turn seasonal goodwill into meaningful action. From fundraising and volunteering to supporting causes that matter, we’ll create engaging ways to bring people together, inspire participation and make a positive difference.

More mileage from what you’ve already got
Already have the idea? We can help it go further – turning one campaign into social content, animations, emails, toolkits, digital screens, internal comms and more.

 

SOMETHING SWEET Because a little appreciation goes a long way

A thank you that means something
Celebrate the people, partnerships and moments that made a difference this year.

A little love for your people
Frontline teams. Shift workers. Volunteers. Partners. Colleagues quietly keeping things moving. From employee-led films and digital advent calendars to interactive thank-you walls and year-in-review animations, we’ll help you make them feel seen.

A moment to look back
Turn the achievements, stories and standout moments of the year into something people will love to watch, read or share.

 

SOMETHING FOR LATER Give January-you a present

A head start on what’s next
Fresh priorities? A new campaign? January recruitment plans? Let’s get the thinking and creative work underway now, so you can come back ready to go.

Something to get everyone fired up
Planning a January kick-off, team session or new-year reset? We can help you bring the strategy to life and get people engaged with what comes next.

January, ready to serve
Get those first campaigns, content plans and creative assets prepared before Christmas — and give future-you one less thing to think about.

Pick a little. Pick a lot. Or tell us what you’re craving.

From a quick brainstorm or an extra pair of hands to a whole campaign, we’ll put together the right helping of Alive.
