Who we work with

Blueberry supports organisations responsible for designing and delivering programmes and services that depend on strong engagement with businesses and stakeholders. This includes:

Local authorities and combined authorities delivering business support, regeneration, net zero and place‑based growth.
Regional Growth Hubs and business support services building pipelines of engaged SMEs.
Central government bodies and arm’s‑length organisations needing local‑level evidence and engagement.
Universities, colleges and skills partnerships working with employers on workforce, apprenticeship and training priorities, including LSIPs and local skills strategies.
Chambers of Commerce and business membership organisations supporting local business support and skills agendas.
Charities, professional associations and other not‑for‑profit organisations running business‑facing or economic inclusion initiatives.

How we support public and third sector programmes

Our work spans a range of services that can be used individually or combined as part of a wider programme:

B2B telemarketing and employer engagement to promote support and grant schemes, drive take‑up and build relationships with local businesses.
Telephone and mixed‑method research (including CATI) to refresh economic and skills evidence bases, support LSIPs and inform local growth strategies.
Data services and B2B datasets that go beyond basic classifications to support delivery, research and ongoing CRM.
Programme evaluation support, including follow‑up interviews and surveys with participating businesses to evidence outcomes and shape future design.
Wider campaign support, from strategy and messaging through to content, email and digital activity aligned with your engagement objectives.

How we deliver public and third sector campaigns

Engagements are structured to reflect public and third sector contexts – from governance and procurement through to stakeholder sensitivities and reporting. Typically this involves:

Scoping objectives, target audiences, geographies and success measures, including how findings and outcomes will be used.
Designing sampling, data requirements and contact approaches that align with GDPR, PECR and internal approvals.
Running telemarketing, research and data programmes with regular feedback loops so targeting and messaging can be refined as we learn.
Delivering outputs in formats that support decision‑making, scrutiny, performance management and communication with stakeholders.

Whether you need support with a single campaign or a wider programme, we can help you engage the right businesses, generate actionable insight and evidence impact across your public and third sector priorities.

With an award winning team and over 100 years combined experience, we have successfully delivered on over 300 telemarketing campaigns for public sector clients.

Research, evaluation and proven public sector experience

Our research and evaluation services give you deeper insight into your target business base and emerging market trends, directly supporting strategy, funding and decision‑making. This in‑depth understanding strengthens future programme design and can significantly improve the effectiveness of delivery and engagement activity. Our team has delivered hundreds of public and third sector B2B telemarketing and research campaigns, so you benefit from practical experience as well as sector knowledge.

Whether you need a short‑term boost to help a programme hit its targets or integrated, ongoing support, we can design a bespoke campaign around your objectives. Campaigns are flexible to different structures, timescales and budgets, so you get maximum value and clear, evidence‑backed outcomes from your investment.
