PR, marketing & events specialists

“It’s no coincidence that my Holdi brand only took off, when I got Jo on board to do all our ongoing Marketing, PR , Social Media and Consultancy. From the celebrity packed launch party of our restaurant opening in Woolton Village to the negotiations of clinching our seventh restaurant at Astley Point…..Jo has been invaluable to me over the past 7 years. Coming from Oldham, I didn’t know the Woolton area at all. The location of that particular restaurant proved difficult from the start. It was not visible to passers by on the street, set back down an alley way, there was no footfall or passing trade – yet only 12 months later, we needed an extension. Jo has helped me on each of our restaurants; the last one being multimillion pound site Grand Holdi. Jo actually wrote the presentation document to secure our plot on the multi-restaurant site as we fought off stiff competition. She has become more than someone who works for me but a family friend and someone who I trust and I go to for advice. All that Jo recommended we do, take part in, enter and create has 100% added value to our business and added years to my brand. Everything she advised me to do, since I opened has proved to be massively successful and all events she has organised for me have been covered in regional and national tabloids as well as featuring on Sky News.

“From the moment I called Winging It to discuss my idea for a restaurant, every single conversation and meeting was just so effortless. Jo doesn’t just do all of our social media, marketing and PR, she helps me with a wide range of issues regarding my business. Drawing on her experience of owning her own award winning restaurant, her knowledge and contacts have been invaluable for me. As well as recruitment, Jo had all the ideas for our logo, colours and branding – and worked with the graphics designer she sourced to bring that to life. She organised the whole launch party, ensuring press and media attendance as well as some famous faces. She assisted with the interior design, created our cocktail menu, sorted draught installation and drinks suppliers, arranged all crockery and cutlery and generally has played a huge role since opening. The PR buzz in the build up to launching was all down to Jo and she is always at the end of the phone when I need her.

“Having known Jo for years from when I did some extra work on Hollyoaks I decided to speak to Winging It about doing some PR for me when I made a big leap from my suburban shop, into Liverpool City Centre. I was opening a one chair Barbershop and already had a clientele that I was 100% positive would follow me. I was looking for help to get my business some involvement in both local and national press – also make me some links with brands I was interested in being working with. Jo did everything I asked and stood by me when signing my lease for my new premises and even came to various viewings with me. She’s a trustworthy, professional agent and I would definitely recommend working with her. You only have to look at how well the businesses she has helped, are doing! Jo is always on the end of the phone to help with more than just PR, and always goes that extra mile every time which is always well appreciated.
