Profile-raising campaigns

One of the ways we can help people to understand the power of occupational therapy is through marketing campaigns. Our campaigns each have a specific focus and aim and bring together our marketing efforts in a cohesive strategic way. We work with members to develop and deliver the campaigns. They provide members with resources to raise the profile of occupational therapy.
