Taunton Town Council has launched an exciting new initiative called ‘Shout About Taunton’, designed to spotlight the town’s vibrant spirit and unique charm. This campaign aims to position Taunton as a welcoming hub for residents, visitors, and investors by highlighting the very best the town has to offer.
From its bustling sports culture and independent shops to lively markets, cultural events, and festivals, the campaign will shine a light on Taunton’s diverse attractions. Using engaging social media content, captivating photography and video, visitor guides, and strong partnerships with local businesses and organizations, ‘Shout About Taunton’ sets out to boost pride, attract visitors from across the region and beyond, and drive sustained economic growth.
The campaign management was awarded to Hatched, a creative agency based in Taunton, following a competitive selection process. Their deep local knowledge and creative expertise promise an authentic and heartfelt portrayal of the town’s stories and strengths.

We look forward to showcasing these qualities and helping bring renewed energy and pride to the heart of the town.”
Councillor Bev Fernandes, Chair of Taunton Town Council’s Community and Place Committee, added: “Taunton offers so much—rich history, a strong community spirit, and a fantastic blend of sport, culture, business, and nature. ‘Shout About Taunton’ is about celebrating all these aspects with confidence and pride. Having this campaign delivered by a local agency makes it even more special, as it reflects genuine understanding and love for our town.”
Currently underway, the campaign is building momentum, particularly with the festive season approaching. A full year of promotional activity is planned for 2026 to continually highlight Taunton’s people, places, and promising future.
