Just a quick update to remind you that our new Premier brand is launching to the public TOMORROW! Check out our amazing brand launch video below... time to be #inspired!

New Social Artwork...

Oops! We have now corrected the links which took you to old social media artwork! Following your feedback, we have re-written our social media guidelines and policy. We are also very pleased to share with you, the new artwork for Premier social media accounts. The new brand assets (including images, bios, handles etc), can be found by clicking the button below, and have labels corresponding with where they should be placed on each social media channel.

New Social Policy (Important!)...

As part of our updated policy, we will be enforcing a three-strike process, to ensure the new brand and our customer facing material is both consistent and professional. This will also ensure that the Social Media Policy is adhered to. No strikes will be issued until the 18th September. Actions from this email which are not completed will result in strikes being issued.

The head office team will soon be conducting an audit to confirm the requested changes have been made. If you have any questions, please email [email protected], with the subject ‘Social Media Policy’.
