Marketing on Tap
We are proud to launch our 'Marketing on Tap' campaign to support the Scottish hospitality industry.
Some of our best ideas have been conceived in bars and restaurants, so now it’s our turn to return the favour. We have launched a 7 week initiative offering help and support to our colleagues in the hospitality industry.
“Scotland has a vibrant marketing community, full of bright, creative minds and a collective vision to do good. It’s also a community that not only works closely with the hospitality sector, but has also relied on it as the birthplace for great creative ideas, award wins, pitch celebrations and of course, commiserations, and we owe it a great debt.
“Our Advisory Board felt strongly they had an opportunity to give back and add real value to the hospitality sector in a time of need, so have pooled resources to proactively create and launch Marketing on Tap to support businesses with free, trusted advice, real support, and a suite of tangible assets.”
