Eight years looking after a national fostering brand.

Foster Care Associates is one of the UK’s largest independent fostering agencies. For around eight years we designed its recruitment campaigns, carer guides and children’s materials, all on brand and often against tight deadlines.

The situation

A big organisation, with deadlines that don't wait.

FCA has recruited and supported foster carers across the UK since 1994. Its marketing team needed a constant stream of material, from regional recruitment campaigns to guides written for children.

It needed a designer who knew the brand inside out, could work from a short brief and turn work round quickly, without the quality slipping.

What we did

A design partner who knew the brand.

Ongoing design across recruitment, carer support and children’s participation.

01

Recruitment

Adverts, flyers, postcards, roller banners and social media to find new foster carers.

02

Carer support

Guides, regional calendars, maps, posters and templates for carers and staff.

03

Children's materials

Interactive guides, activity passports, storybooks and feedback forms written for children in care.

04

Events and milestones

Conference and achievement day materials, and FCA’s 30-year anniversary logo.

“From recruitment collateral, to interactive children's guides and brochures, Olive Tree Creative know how to deliver engaging, consistent design in line with our brand guidelines.”
