Constant Contact knows that getting more customers is the one single biggest challenge that small businesses face.
That's why they - in collaboration with Enterprise Nation and Channel 4 - are offering small businesses an incredible opportunity to boost their brand's visibility like never before.
Three lucky winners will each win:
a share of £300,000 of Channel 4 advertising airtime

the opportunity to consult a full team of experts on how best to reach your target audience across Channel 4 live and streaming services to make sure your business truly shines on screen
an exclusive package of marketing tools and expertise, to take your marketing to new heights
But it doesn’t stop there! Ten businesses will each win an exclusive marketing package, worth £4,000, to give their businesses the big break they deserve. A worthy prize in its own right even for those firms that don’t feel ready for a TV campaign. The package includes:
a 12-month Premium subscription to Constant Contact's full suite of digital marketing tools
small business mentorship and expertise from industry leaders
a £2,000 grant, to be used on any marketing activity to support your ambitions for growth

Television remains one of the most impactful media platforms, with its unmatched reach, scale, emotional connection and trust – and the power to bring brands to life. Imagine your brand being beamed into the homes of millions!
Your business deserves to be seen, so don't miss this unique opportunity to make it happen.
To be eligible to apply, your business must:
have been trading for at least three months
have a Companies House number or a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number

Let us know if you're applying for the chance to appear on TV – or just the marketing prize and grant.
We'll ask you to share your business goal for the next 12 months and how your chosen prize (the TV ad or the marketing package) will help you achieve those goals.
Finally, we’ll ask you to explain what makes your business unique.
Use your social media channels to tell people you've entered the competition and build excitement and support among your audience. We'll randomly select five posts using the hashtag #SmallBusinessBigBreak to win a £50 gift card!
We'll pick 10 winners. If chosen, you'll receive the incredible package of prizes outlined above, designed to elevate your business and take it to the next level!
We'll host a pitch day, where you'll have the incredible opportunity to share your business goals with a panel of inspiring business leaders and entrepreneurs. Pitching to them alone can open doors to new possibilities. Three winners will be chosen to have their TV ads created and broadcast on Channel 4 - powered by Constant Contact.
Take part in the video production process to bring your ad to life. Work alongside a professional crew to create an ad that will be ready for television and help your business reach a broader audience. Then watch your business appear on TV!
