PCC DN - Increased allocation for I am Greater campaign

Decision Maker: Director for Safer and Stronger Communities

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

I am greater murals have been painted in three locations across Greater
Manchester – Tameside, Bury and Salford.
Young people designed the murals with an artist (Oskar with a k) and were taught how to spray paint.
Different colours were used for each mural to make them unique – this made paint costs higher than initially expected.

The end point survey will evaluate the performance of the second phase of the campaign and act as a baseline for the third phase. We have used a survey company (Obsurvant) to ensure a good number of responses, as previously we have struggled to have young people complete surveys. A
pair of airpods have also been purchased by Hitch as an incentive for young people to complete the survey.

Decision:

The GM VRU is seeking to provide Hitch Marketing with an extra £2,202 to cover additional costs for the I am greater murals and end-point survey.
£8,410 was initially awarded to Hitch for this work, additional spend was required to cover material costs (underestimated initially) and survey completion. This Decision replaces a Decision published on 20/12/2022, in which in the incorrect amount of £2002 was stated.
