Our team has managed their PR for Ideal Home Show Christmas at Earls Court, bringing together all the UK’s top Panto Dames (oh yes we did!). We also managed the marketing + communications for Ideal Home Show Scotland for 6 years.

The inaugural World Trailer Awards took place in Villa Moura in the Algarve in March 2022.
Marketing executives from across the globe gathered to celebrate the very best of innovation and creativity in marketing for film, games, and television.
Our team is on hand to deliver the global marketing and communications strategy, create and deliver social media campaigns (paid and organic), as well as ensuring the event went smoothly.
We love working with our client DogFest, one of the UK’s largest dog-friendly festivals. Last year we delivered a comprehensive PR strategy for all 7 shows across the UK, culminating with securing DogFest a segment on the BBC’s One Show and over 100 pieces of coverage across print, online, and broadcast.
As well as supporting with media buying, our team was on the ground at each festival liaising with the press, videographers and photographers, and just generally acted as an extension of the DogFest team; lending a helping paw where we could!
We also worked with the wider DogFest team creating content, supporting their on-site social media team, and liaising with their sponsors.
dot + del is the dream turned reality of stalwart marketeer Susie Fraser. Dot stands for dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, while del stands for delivery.
So, what’s in a name? This is a tribute to Susie’s parents who were leading lights of the media industry in the 70’s and 80’s and who were affectionately known as Dot and Del.
Dot (Dorothy Webster) broke the glass ceiling for women journalists and was a dedicated advocate of equality. She supported many good causes throughout her life and always championed the underdog.
Del (Derek Webster, CBE) was a leading journalist who not only was the Chair of Trinity Mirror and Group Editor of the Daily Record and Sunday Mail, but he was also Chairman of Age Concern and the Press Association. An outstanding businessman and media guru, he was the first person to bring colour to newspapers and was awarded the CBE for services to journalism.
