Digital agency proves that ‘scaring is caring’ by donating to foodbank

A Poole digital agency put the care into ‘scare’ when it donated a bumber bundle of items to a local foodbank.

Not wanting to waste an opportunity to dress up, team members at b4b marketing donned their finest Halloween costumes this year.

But instead of buying sweets and treats for children in the area, they chose to donate more essential items to a foodbank.

Jessie Taylor, Content Marketing Manager,  who came up with the idea, said: “We love dressing up and welcoming trick or treaters to our doorsteps at this time of year.

“We still got into the spirit of the season, but also wanted to support our local community in a worthwhile way at a time when extra help is needed more than ever.

“You could say that we were doing the ‘fright’ thing!”

Founded in 2008, b4b marketing’s clients include Charles Trent, Trethowans, W&S Recycling, Carpet Barn & the Bed Store, Broadview, Cobham and Morrish Homes.
