Details of advertising campaigns, promotional events and launches planned by my Department for the first six months of 2020 are set out in the attached table. It is not possible at this stage to estimate the costs for certain campaigns as they are in the early stages of planning.

In line with this Government’s ongoing outreach programme of engagement with stakeholders on contingency measures in preparation for Brexit, the Department, its Offices and Agencies will continue in 2020 to participate in active engagement with our stakeholders. The timing, nature and content of any initiatives in this regard in the first six months of 2020 will be determined by the status of negotiations between the UK and the EU on the withdrawal of the UK from the EU.
