Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to publish an itemised list, including budgets, of the current export promotion activities of UKTI, broken down by region and country of the UK; and if not, why not.
The central marketing campaign implemented by UKTI over the last year to drive new exporters; Exporting is GREAT, covers the whole of the United Kingdom. As the budget is centrally held and the paid-for marketing activity is centrally procured through a media buying agency it is not possible to detail the breakdown of the budget by region or nation.
The Exporting is GREAT campaign includes multi-channel promotional activity, outreach engagement across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, supported by PR activity to maximise awareness, interest and engagement. A list of the paid-for activity to support this programme is detailed within this response.
November 2015 Launch:
