Made By Jonty is Sheffield’s newest ‘gastro-cafe’. They approached us to help them with their launch PR, of course we were more than honoured to take on that challenge.
As well as doing a brand audit, we wrote and sent out a press release, and organised the official launch event. The evening was a great success, and saw a nice mix of guests enjoying Made By Jonty’s salad bar and the Pimm’s went down very well indeed…

Last night saw the launch of the first ever Pecha Kucha night in Sheffield – the 300th city to host these special events. Together with Clare MacKenzie and Jonny Douglas, we managed to get the rights to the Pecha Kucha brand, and will be hosting a total of 4 events in the coming year.
For Pecha Kucha Sheffield 01, we decided on using The Chimney House, a unique building in Kelham Island - this meant the event having a very boutique and intimate feel. As for speakers, they were Alasdair from Article magazine, Andy from YooMee, artist Wildago, and Ian Anderson from Designers Republic.
We are already planning Pecha Kucha Sheffield 02 for the summer, watch this space…
