B&M Care
Wagada’s work has increased our average weekly enquiries by 50%.
Angela Hunt, Director of Sales and Marketing, B&M Care
B&M Care has 50 years of experience in the care sector and is a group made up of 27 care homes in and around the Home Counties, and provides private residential and specialist dementia care for the elderly.
In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, B&M Care wanted to increase their enquiries and occupancy rates during this difficult time. They tasked Wagada Digital to work on the care home marketing to raise visibility, brand awareness, generating leads, and communicating key messages of trust and authority to their current and prospective customer base.
In 2022, B&M Care sought Wagada Digital’s support to help them with their employer branding to recruit and retain talent. This involved developing their employer brand positioning, aligned to their overarching brand and values to create synergy between marketing and recruitment.

Our partnership with Wagada Digital is a huge success. They developed an Employer Branding strategy and a brand new bespoke Careers website that perfectly encapsulates B&M Care’s values. Their understanding of who we are as a brand and employer is spot on. Thanks to the new website and the strategy, we have had a significant increase in job applications and filling vacant positions.
