			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-4798" href="http://www.seriouspr.com/top-chef-stephen-jeffers/downloadedfile/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4798" title="DownloadedFile" src="http://www.seriouspr.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DownloadedFile.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="259" /></a></p>
<p><strong>BRIEF </strong></p>
<p>Our brief was to work closely with top chef, Stephen Jeffers and maximise awareness of his move to a new, prime site in Bangor, Co Down. Our work also involved the provision of business consultancy.</p>
<p><strong>RESPONSE</strong></p>
<p>We introduced Stephen to many of NI&#8217;s top food and features&#8217; writers, and encouraged them to sample his food first hand.  We also positioned him as a commentator on foodie issues within local radio programmes and top trade mags.</p>
<p><strong>RESULTS</strong></p>
<p>Stephen&#8217;s move to Belfast&#8217;s Skipper Street from Grace Neills, which he and his wife, LIsa had owned for a number of years attracted significant publicity.  Our follow-up work which involved them buying premises in Bangor and opening a new bistro-type restaurant in Grays Hill also attracted major interest from journalists.  In addition we generated a significant number of high profile reviews and listings which had an immediate knock on effect on customer numbers.</p>

<p><strong>BRIEF</strong><br />
Launch a start up company set up by a Tyrone based mumpreneur producing organic baby food.</p>
<p><strong>RESPONSE</strong></p>
<p>This campaign which is still ongoing required an approach that was strategic, creative and clever use of a limited budget.</p>
<p>We used our extensive experience of marketing in the food and drink sector to arrange a series of indepth interviews with the founder of the business to create awareness of the Heavenly Tasty Organics&#8217; brand in advance of the new product launch.  Within the first few weeks of engagement we had secured interviews in each of the province&#8217;s daily newspapers supported with images of the new product.</p>
<p>These features acted as the perfect lead in to the product launch.  In the weeks running up to the launch we worked with a major retailer to deliver a series of high profile launch stories centred on a new supply deal.</p>
<p><strong>RESULTS</strong></p>
<p>For a fledgling business with a limited marketing budget we have delivered a profile with which a marketing leading company would be proud.</p>
<p>Initial sales of the innovative product have been very encouraging with a number of major new supply deals in the bag.</p>
