Digitalising our Town Centres (DTC)

Digitalising our Town Centres (DTC) support is available to town centre retail businesses from across Gateshead, aiming to increase and improve digital skills within businesses. The aim is to help retail businesses adapt to changes within town centres and drive more traffic into stores and therefore town centres as a whole.

What will the programme cover?

Support available includes a Digital Audit of the business, which features analysis of the company website and other social media, SEO analysis and assessing digital marketing goals.

Businesses will work on a one-to-one basis with an adviser to develop and then work through a Digital Action Plan.

Who can apply?

Retail businesses based in the town centre areas of Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council who are keen to assess and develop their digital skills.

This project is funded by North East Mayor Kim McGuinness and The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority.
