To be eligible for the Small Business, Big Break competition, you must:

  • have been trading for at least three months
  • have a Companies House number or a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number
  • employ no more than 50 people
  • be based in the UK and have a British bank account

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 

- access to a marketing consultant, worth £500

From those 10, we'll pick three winners to create their business ad for broadcast on Channel 4.

(You can apply for just the marketing package and not the TV ad.)

Three lucky winners will each win:

- a share of £300,000 of Channel 4 advertising airtime

- the chance to work with a top-tier video production agency to create your dream TV ad

- 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 

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!

    Step 1
    Complete the short application form
    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.  

    Step 2
    Post on your socials
    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!

    Step 3
    Winners selected
    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!

    Step 4
    Finalists' pitch
    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.

    Step 5
    Get your business on TV! 
    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!
