Taunton Town Council has launched an ambitious campaign, ‘Shout About Taunton,’ designed to elevate the Somerset town’s profile by showcasing its vibrant community, sporting heritage, rich culture, and independent businesses.
This dynamic initiative uses striking photography, captivating videos, social media outreach, visitor guides, and partnerships with local enterprises to highlight what makes Taunton truly special. The campaign aims to position the town as a desirable destination to live, visit, and invest in.
The creative agency behind this exciting project is Hatched, a Taunton-based firm selected for their deep local insight and strong community ties. Samantha Maloney, Marketing Director at Hatched, expressed enthusiasm about representing their hometown. “From our studio in the town centre, we witness daily the creativity, culture, and community spirit that define Taunton. We’re excited to share that energy with a wider audience, boosting pride, tourism, and business.”
