GOV.WALES microsites
GOV.WALES microsites are standalone, and are usually branded.

GOV.WALES campaigns
GOV.WALES campaigns provide persuasive information to help raise awareness about something.
There may be multiple campaigns around different aspects of a subject.
They are not for providing core guidance on a subject.

Consider all options to support promotional activity.
