KW Marketing Digital Marketing Agency For Food, Drink & Feel-Good Brands. Proven 70% Revenue Growth for Scaling Brands 🔥

Q4 is NOT the time to start throwing money at new marketing channels 👀

Yet every year, the same thing happens.

Peak trading gets closer and suddenly brands feel like they need to do EVERYTHING.

More ads. More emails. More content. TikTok. Google. Black Friday. Bigger budgets.

But more marketing spend doesn't automatically mean more sales.

And it definitely doesn't mean more profitable sales.

So for our brand NEW episode of Fuelling Foodies, we got the team together and gave them one question..
If you had £10K to spend on a food & drink brand this Q4, where would you ACTUALLY put it? 💸

And we got into it 😂

📈 When we'd increase ad spend and when we absolutely wouldn't
🛒 The website problems we'd fix BEFORE paying for more traffic
📧 Why your retention engine could be your biggest Q4 opportunity
🖤 Whether Black Friday actually makes commercial sense
💸 Where we'd put £10K if it was our own money
🚨 The things we think brands are wasting money on right now

Because this is the bit I REALLY want food & drink brands to remember going into peak:

Don't scale something just because it's Q4.

Scale it because the data tells you it's working.

And don't just drive sales for the sake of sales. Think about the customers you're acquiring, what they're worth and whether they'll actually come back.

That's how you make Q4 growth worth something beyond December 👊🏻🔥

What does a food & drink digital agency actually do? Well… quite a lot 😂

These are just a few of the brands we’ve had the privilege of working with recently across strategy, ads, email, social, and digital growth.

Different brands. Different audiences. Different commercial goals.

But the thinking behind the work is always the same... what are we trying to achieve, and how is the marketing going to help us get there?

Because we're not interested in creating content just to fill a feed. Or running ads just because everyone else is.

We want the work we put out into the world to stop the scroll, drive the click, build the database, generate the sale, and grow the brand 🔥

Here’s a little look at what that’s looked like for our clients lately....

And if you’re planning your next stage of growth, come and talk to us.

One last bank holiday weekend before Q4 really starts 👀

If you're a food & drink founder, I'm guessing you're doing one of two things right now...

Trying to squeeze every last bit of summer out of the bank holiday. 🥂
Or quietly thinking, “Oh god… I really need to get my Q4 sorted.” 😅

And honestly? Both are completely valid.

When the pace slows down, you get a bit more space to think about the bigger questions:
What do I actually want Q4 to look like?
What are we going to double down on this year?
Where is our marketing genuinely driving revenue?
And where are we spending time, money and energy without seeing enough back?

Because Q4 brings A LOT.

Sales targets. Christmas campaigns. Stock. Offers. Ads. Email. Content. New customers. Existing customers.

And suddenly September becomes October, October becomes November… and you're wondering where the time went 😅

I see it every year.

The brands that have a strong Q4 aren't necessarily the ones doing the most.

They're the ones that have taken the time to step back, look at the numbers, understand what's working and decide where to focus before the pressure kicks in.

So yes, enjoy the bank holiday! ☀️

Go outside. Have the long lunch. Drink the cocktail. Switch off for a bit.

But if you've got that little voice in the back of your head saying “I really need to sort Q4…”

Listen to it. 👀

Because the best time to get clear on your strategy isn't when Q4 is already flying.

It's now.

Here's to one last bit of summer… and getting VERY ready for what's next. ❤️‍🔥

Sometimes the best way to improve your work is to stop working...
and actually look at HOW you work instead.

Our whole team got around a table with Dale from Trinity Hawk for a full day of doing exactly this 👊🏻

Not just delving into the lighter stuff. But the annoying stuff, too.

The things that take way too long.
The things we do because “that's just how we've always done it”.
The little frustrations we've all quietly accepted.
The things that could be automated, streamlined or just… completely binned. 😂

And there were A LOT of those moments.

It was one of those days where someone would mention something they've been struggling with, and suddenly three other people are going: “YES, me too.”

Or someone would ask “But why do we actually do it that way?” and we'd all realise… we don't really know. 😅

But actually, our biggest takeaway was just how useful it is to get everyone in the same room, step away from the client work for a minute and properly think about how we're working as a team.

Because sometimes you just need to stop. Look at what's happening. Question everything.
And figure out how to make it better.

Then, naturally… go for gin and a delicious dinner afterwards. 🍸😂

Big thanks to Dale for spending the day with us and helping us get stuck into it!

Now onto seeing what we can actually build from it 👀

THIS is why I love the food & drink industry so much ❤️‍🔥

Love Local Food Festival 2026… You were a good one! 💚☀️

I genuinely could have talked to people all day.

About the passion. The graft. The big wins. The tricky bits. The summer juggle. The growth. The scaling. The “what the hell do I do about this?” conversations.

I LOVE all of it.

There’s something so special about hearing directly from the people behind the brands we know and love, from what’s working, what’s hard, what they’re figuring out and what’s next.

And it was a pretty brilliant reminder of why buying local matters so much. 🫶🏻

So much passion, creativity and graft packed into one seriously beautiful setting… alongside some VERY good food and drink 👀

Huge well done to Greendale Farm Shop for bringing the South West food & drink community together again 👏🏻

And yes… the Bar Buoy Spicy Marg absolutely did not disappoint 🌶️🍹

Already looking forward to next year ❤️‍🔥

You're probably sending emails. But are they part of a strategy... or just another job on the marketing to-do list?

We speak to founders every week who are investing time into email, but still aren't confident answering questions like:

- Which emails are actually driving revenue?
- Which flows are underperforming?
- Where are customers dropping off?
- What should we prioritise before Q4?

That's exactly why we created the Email Growth Accelerator.

It's designed to help you stop guessing and start making smarter decisions.

Together, we'll work through:
📧 A comprehensive Email Audit
📈 A personalised Growth Strategy
⚙️ Tailored recommendations for your Klaviyo account
👩🏼‍💻 A dedicated 1:1 Strategy Workshop with Kate to turn everything into a clear action plan

No generic advice.
No one-size-fits-all templates.

Just a clear roadmap built around your business, your customers and your growth goals.

If you've got a feeling your email marketing should be generating more revenue...

Some meetings just hit differently 🌊

On Friday I was in Salcombe for a couple of meetings during Regatta Week.

And it reminded me why I LOVE what we do.

Yes, we work with ambitious brands across the UK.

But our roots started right here in the South West.

Surrounded by incredible food producers, drinks brands, hospitality businesses and founders who are building genuinely brilliant businesses.

It's easy to think you have to be in London to build something special.

Some of the UK's most exciting brands are being built RIGHT HERE 👊🏻

And being close to them means we get to understand their businesses, visit them, experience their products and have conversations that just don't happen over Zoom.

There's something special about sitting down with a founder overlooking one of the most beautiful coastlines in the country, talking about growth, Q4 and what's next.

The scenery is a bonus 😉

But helping ambitious brands grow... that's why we're here!

The strongest brands don't just sell products. They stand for something 💚

One thing that really stood out when we spoke to Tom from Greendale wasn't the size of the business.

It was how intentional they are about supporting local producers.

Not just during Love Local Festival.

EVERY SINGLE DAY.

From what's on the shelves...
To the stories they tell on social media...
To the emails they send...

The message is consistent.

SUPPORT LOCAL.

That's what great branding looks like.

Because when your values show up consistently across every customer touchpoint, people don't just buy from you... they buy into what you stand for.

With Love Local Festival just around the corner, it's a brilliant reminder that some of the best marketing isn't about shouting the loudest.

It's about building something people genuinely want to be part of.

If you're in Devon this August, it's definitely worth a visit 👏🏻

You're probably sending emails... but are they actually making you money?

There's a difference.

We speak to brands every week who tell us:
"We've got Klaviyo."
"Our flows are live."
"We send campaigns every week."

Great.

But email marketing isn't the goal.

Revenue is.

So ask yourself...
- Is your Welcome Flow turning subscribers into first-time customers?
- Is your Post Purchase journey increasing repeat purchases?
- Are your campaigns driving sales, or just filling your content calendar?
- Do you actually know which emails are making you money?

Because if your answer is "I'm not really sure..."

THAT'S THE OPPORTUNITY!

With Q4 around the corner, now is the time to stop treating email as another marketing channel and start treating it as one of your biggest revenue drivers.

That's exactly why we start with an Email Audit 🔥

We'll identify what's working, what's underperforming, where you're leaving revenue on the table, and the changes we'd make to help your email marketing generate more sales.
