MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM EVERYONE AT SHARP RELATIONS x
Read on for the December update…..
Ho ho ho! It’s Chriiiiistmaaaaas! 🎄🎅
Here at Sharp HQ, it’s been a busy few weeks with Christmas coverage galore! In between pitching to the media for last-minute Christmas gift guides and having media and influencer conversations about Veganuary and Try January, we’ve been tucking into a few mince pies (OGGS® of course!), taste testing beer (alcohol-free Big Drop brews that taste so good you really don’t miss the alcohol!) and wearing Christmas jumpers.
A BIG Hello to Try January
Mindful drinking is on the rise in the UK with Gen Z drinking less and people looking to cut down on their alcohol consumption to fit with healthy lifestyle choices. We’re working with alcohol-free brewer Big Drop for Try January, to introduce The BIG HELLO Box, containing 8 cans of their most popular beers including their best seller – Paradiso! A seriously tasty shout, if you are looking to try something new and make the swap in 2022.
Veganuary launches on the menu
We’re also launching two tasty, blended dairy-free milks from Lilk, available in Ocado from 5th January. The Common Blend is an award-winning blend of oat and rice grains that creates a more milk-like consistency that foams, doesn’t split and tastes milky and The Lush Blend, combining oat, coconut, and quinoa grains to create a creamy, whole milk style taste that feels like a treat.
We launched scrambled OGGS®, the incredible new plant-based scrambled egg made from chickpeas, in partnership with Bella Italia with an exciting media event, which had a great turn-out of press and influencers. Book now and check out Bella Italia’s CarbOGGnara and Hot ChOGGlate Pudding in restaurants from 3rd January.
‘Tis the Season for Awards
The Sharp team has been celebrating, having scooped two awards – Creative and Digital Award 2021 and Small Business of the Year 2021 in the Ashford Business Awards and finalists in the Innovation category. What a night! Now, for a trophy cabinet….
A few of us dusted off our evening dresses for the British Guild of Beer Writers Awards Dinner in London, celebrating the best writing, which champions beer and pubs. Sharp client Allsopp’s was sponsoring a category and it was fabulous to share an evening of great beer and food with Jamie Allsopp as well as seeing lots of familiar faces and meeting some new ones.
Give generously this Christmas
Shout out to Claire Hernandez, one of our brilliant Account Managers, who organised us all and collected a car boot full of produce and toiletries to donate to the Family Food Bank in Ashford. A big thank you to everyone who donated!
