Brief

The brief

The brief

The Foundation for Independence launched in March 2020, and its first stated aim was to build an independent business network. The Independent Business Network (IBN) gave family-run firms and entrepreneurs a voice in the post-Brexit economic debate. Its chairman, John Longworth, was a former Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, and its advisory board included David Jones MP and Graham Stringer MP. Bridgehead was appointed at launch to build IBN's national media presence from nothing, positioning its leadership as commentators on enterprise policy, free trade and the cost of government decisions to independent business.

A pro-enterprise business network championing family-run firms, entrepreneurs and a low-tax economy, launched in 2020 by the Foundation for Independence as a credible alternative to the CBI.

Objectives

  1. 01Establish IBN as a credible national voice for independent business.
  2. 02Build John Longworth's profile as a leading commentator on enterprise and Brexit.
  3. 03Secure sustained presence in national print and broadcast media.
  4. 04Drive political attention to the NI hike and its impact on independent firms.
  5. 05Position IBN as the pro-enterprise alternative to the CBI.

The approach

How we approached it

A sustained commentary strategy anchored to the political news cycle, placing IBN's voice on every major economic moment from Budget statements to trade deals, and building a drumbeat of Telegraph presence that made IBN a fixture of the enterprise debate.

01

Telegraph commentary drumbeat

We made IBN's chairman, John Longworth, a regular Telegraph commentator, and that sustained presence made a new organisation feel established. 39 Telegraph pieces in two years gave IBN a consistent voice the paper's political desk recognised and returned to.

02

Hooking every economic moment

Budget statements, NI announcements, trade deals and lockdown restrictions each became a platform for IBN's voice. By preparing commentary in advance of major news events, we ensured IBN was part of the story the day it broke, not catching up the day after.

03

Policy papers with one clear ask

We turned IBN's policy work into stories with a single number or demand. The Trade and Industry Strategy (November 2020) called for corporation tax to be scrapped. A £35bn plan to save 500,000 hospitality jobs (February 2021) ran in MailOnline and the trade press. A £44bn COVID recovery plan ran in The Times and City AM in April and May 2021.

Coverage

The campaign

39 Telegraph pieces in two years: a new lobby group the paper's political desk treated as a fixture.

By positioning IBN's leadership as authoritative commentators on Brexit economics and enterprise policy, we built a sustained presence that made IBN a recognised stakeholder, not just a story. The Telegraph became the anchor, with The Times, The Sun and Sky News amplifying the message across print and broadcast.

The outcome

240 pieces in 72 outlets, and a lobby group launched in 2020 that The Telegraph, The Times, The Sun and Sky News were all quoting within its first two years.

The impact

  • 01Established IBN as a recognised national voice in enterprise and Brexit policy within months of launch.
  • 0239 Telegraph pieces built the kind of consistent political-press presence that turns a new organisation into a fixture.
  • 03Coverage grew from 45 pieces in the first four months to 125 by January 2021, a record the board used with donors and patrons.
  • 04In April 2021 the Department for International Trade invited Longworth to a roundtable chaired by trade minister Ranil Jayawardena.
  • 05By April 2021 IBN said it spoke for more than a thousand family-owned and family-run businesses.
