Background: CFA ran the launch campaign for the British Sprinkler Alliance's report 'The impact of automatic sprinklers on building design.'

As part of the campaign the report was broken down into a series of bitesize articles which were published on the Designing Buildings Wiki site and promoted in our featured article section. Results: The 5 articles have received 755 views in the first six weeks with an average view time of 2 minutes. David Ing of CFA commented 'This looks great. Just shown it to the client and they are delighted.' |
