“We wanted to make Warburtons employees feel proud to work for the business”

Focus groups and one-to-one feedback sessions are regularly carried out to ensure we are continuing to create relevant content and collateral that engages Warburtons’ employees.

Employee engagement with the W Magazine has increased by 75% compared with older issues.

Focus groups and one-to-one feedback sessions are held after the publication of each issue to ensure that the magazine continues to inspire pride among the workforce.

We wanted to make Warburtons employees feel proud to work for the business and engage those who hadn’t historically read the magazine.

We worked closely with the Warburtons marketing team to identify target audiences and research relevant content that would engage them. A flat plan of content was produced to act as a blueprint for future issues.

Content was radically changed to include more lifestyle features, business news, success stories from around Warburtons’ 26 depots and bakeries, features on employees, and competitions.

Each quarter we write, design and produce a 20-page A4 magazine for the business, sourcing the content and photography from as many members of staff as possible from around the company.

Our creative team project manages all the printing and distribution requirements to ensure it’s delivered to the homes of all 5,600 employees.

“From initial planning to the magazine landing on doorsteps, we work to a tight eight-week deadline”

“RMS demonstrate a thorough understanding of our communications objectives and always present excellent ideas and creative work.

“They have a ‘can-do’ attitude and are clearly passionate about making a real difference to our business”
