Purple Pilchard
A Marketing Comms, PR, Copywriting & Award Winning Agency for Ambitious food & drink brands
We’re a vocal advocate for ambitious underdog brands looking to raid & dismantle the nation’s historically underwhelming food & drink landscape.
Pilchard first set sail in 2004, buoyed by a niggling suspicion that growing numbers of emerging yet over-stretched food & drinks brands could benefit from access to thoughtful, ‘everyday affordable’ marketing during their formative months and years.
As a fleet-finned incubator agency for emerging food & drinks brands, Pilchard is well-versed in generating engaging, ‘positive noise;’ providing nimble-minded clients with all the essential ‘early doors’ marketing tools needed to put their best foot forward.
Pilchard advocates an honest, hands-on approach that champions compelling brand values and straight talking over empty noise, pointless peacocking and underwhelming ‘beige-ness.’
Underdog brands with limited budgets understand that success hinges upon knowing when to sit back and when to press home any advantage.
As a broad ‘rule-of-fin,’ Pilchard clients tend to consist of:
- Audacious start-ups happy to ruffle ‘establishment’ feathers
- Troubled stuck-in-a-rut ‘soles’ keen to change direction & rekindle past success
- Mischievous disruptors no longer happy to swim in the shadows
- ‘New to these shores,’ overseas offerings looking to settle in UK waters
Reassuring Truths
- We never pander, over-promise or dabble in wooliness
- We are a transparent, SME savvy business that offers great value for money
- We won’t drag our heels, hanging around any longer than we’re needed
