Bauer Media Outdoor empowers learning and diversity through partnership with PROPS

Bauer Media Outdoor has partnered with PROPS, a Bristol-based charity that supports people with learning difficulties into meaningful employment, as part of an initiative to provide hands-on experience within the Out of Home advertising industry.

The partnership began with two creative workshops held at Bauer Media Outdoor’s Bristol depot, where participants were introduced to the operational side of the business and took part in poster design activities. These sessions gave trainees the opportunity to develop creative skills while gaining real-life work experience, producing designs that represent PROPS and its mission.

Bauer Media Outdoor has partnered with PROPS, a Bristol-based charity dedicated to assisting individuals with learning difficulties in finding meaningful employment opportunities.  

The partnership kicked off with two creative workshops at Bauer Media Outdoor’s Bristol depot. During these workshops, participants gained insights into the operations side of the business and engaged in creative activities focused on designing posters. The activity allowed participants to design posters representing the charity whilst providing them with real-life work experience in the advertising industry.

Feedback from the trainees and staff proved to be overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the initiative’s success in inspiring and empowering individuals.

The partnership with PROPS will run from April 2024 to March 2025, with the final designs running on digital screens across Bristol later this year. Through this collaboration, the charity will receive free media space, funding, and volunteering hours.    

As a Platform for Good, Bauer Media Outdoor believes in the power of partnerships that benefit business stakeholders and contribute positively to society. This collaboration exemplifies Bauer Media Outdoor's commitment to supporting employment initiatives and engaging diverse communities while helping to foster creativity in the advertising sector and inspire future generations.
