Create and update 'publication: promotional material' on GOV.WALES

Before you create or edit content, you need to read and understand:

• the style guide
• writing for GOV.WALES

You should also have a version of the content ready for publication.

Use for:

• grouping materials supporting a campaign, guidance or policy onto 1 page

This content is supplementary and is not the primary:

• campaign content designed to change the audience’s behaviour
• guidance explaining how to do something
• policy

This content is usually intended for use by other people to help communicate our work, for example:

• a poster to display to raise awareness of a campaign
• social media images designed to encourage users to view the primary campaign content
