Our Work

WINNING THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF LOCALS – BRISTOL STYLE.

Deliveroo is a melting pot of independent food and flavour, with a soft spot

for all things creative. We needed to put Deliveroo back on Bristolians’

takeaway radar, with indie cuisine at the heart of this effort.

Strategy

Deliveroo went big on TEN in Bristol with a TEN-week campaign

tapping into the subcultures of Bristolian community whilst raising

awareness of the 10off10 deal in a way that felt proper Bristolian.

Campaign

A celebration of all things local, with an in-person launch event, earned and

paid media activity, out of home advertisement, influencer activity, a

10OFF10 deal, and a charity partnership.

3.1% Increase in brand consideration across the city of Bristol for Deliveroo

182 Pieces of earned and paid coverage across the whole campaign

Create stand-out moments to help M&S own the Royal Wedding

As one of the UK’s best-loved heritage brands, M&S wanted to take ownership of the Royal Wedding in the retail sector – taking the message beyond the traditional biscuit tins, to create a touchpoint for consumers in every store and create moments that would deliver media coverage at a national and local level.

Playing on the Royal proposal, Grayling suggested a creative twist to the M&S meal deal offer, re-branding the chicken sandwich to be called ‘The Proposal Sandwich’ for Royal Wedding week. We also recommended re-branding an M&S store to Markle & Sparkle – and worked with the team to re-brand the Windsor store signage and unveil on Royal Wedding day, a concept which was also activated across all digital channels.

Grayling also organised Royal Wedding screenings in 10 x Royal cities and boroughs in the UK.

The campaign won the ‘Best Integrated Campaign’ award at the PRCA national awards.

Event managed a major recycling conference in Bristol

Organise a major plastics recycling conference to help create and define a genuinely circular economy in the South West and Wales on behalf of Viridor – in under three months.

We worked with Viridor to bring together major consumer brands, local government, industry, charities, NGOs and the education sector. The aim was to unite these groups and encourage them to work in partnership to turn rubbish into resource and deliver the aims of the UK Plastics Pact at a regional level.

Grayling event managed the project. We led on managing all the logistics of the event: from liaising with the venue to managing invitations and securing key speakers, including Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees and BBC journalist Tom Heap and Professor Richard Thompson – the person who coined the term ‘micro plastics’.

Viridor’s Director of Innovation said: “It was a truly fantastic event and we could not have wanted more.”
