A Taste of Wi******er LAUNCH event…

Love what you do, so do what you love.
Imagine being amongst people who love local, eat local, cook local and love the locals…

A Taste of Wi******er is just that.

Check out A Taste of Wi******er - the two week foodie festival that starts on 22nd June! Just find an event you want to join or a restaurant / cafe / adventure that you want to partake in and get booked in. There are over 20 events to choose from, so far!

A Taste of Wi******er culminates in the biggest most exciting event that I’ve ever seen for Winch, organised by three local businesses. The Long Lazy Lunch on Sunday 5th July aims to bring the Wi******er foodie community together outside in the Square. Set along long tables participants will enjoy a 5 course tasting menu from Rick Stein, Wi******er St James Tavern Bar Lento Swoon Gelato Two&One Olive Oil

Visit A Taste of Wi******er to see what’s on offer and how to get booked in! 🍽️

I personally, can’t wait!

What do you think??
AI graphics give me the ‘ick’ and here’s why…

It’s not authentic… or not as authentic as it could be without work and extra care, time and edits…

It’s really ‘easy’ - oh that’ll do… but easy doesn’t mean it’s right. If you see everyone doing it, why should you too?

It can damage your brand trust and your brand… scroll left. The output is reflective of the prompt however my brand usage in page two isn’t right. Can you spot it?

It often misses the mark! I went on an AI course recently run by Wi******er City Council and we talked about the 80:20 rule… it can get us 80% of the way there with a decent prompt but needs our attention for the remaining 20%.

It’s risky…

I think you can spot AI generated images a mile off. A bit like AI comments and captions.

My advice. Be true to your brand. Use AI wisely but don’t let the easy way out damage your brand. If you have beautiful products, show us, tell us, inspire us…

Would love to hear your thoughts….!

All quiet on the grid for a while…
BUT there’s always a lot going on…
Alfie is half-way through his GCSEs! (Whoop!) We just keep going. (You’ve got this Alf- repeat after me 🤣!)
It’s marking season at the Uni and a busy time with projects / events with my lovely clients… ( I love watching the projects come together and am super grateful for my work family!)

Working, juggling family commitments and navigating a house with teens can be a lot… but I’m grateful for the support network and amazing clients beside me who help us ride the waves as they come!

So our heads are down and we keep going…
We’ve got this Tombo! 😘

GCSE mode remains activated….
See you on the other side!

Really excited to visit the first this weekend…

Why not have a look yourself…
- Open studios across the city this weekend
- Creative Exhibitions
- Network with local creatives

For me I can’t wait to meet the faces behind so many local creative names that I’ve heard of and seen their work but never met… also seeing the faces I recognise too 🥰

Bring it on! Perfect creative weekend ahead!

Imagine a lecture about new product development and product launches. What nicer way to bring the theory to life than inviting local entrepreneurs into the classroom to tell their product story, to hear the journey, the highs and lows and understand what NPD really looks like in 2026.

I’m so grateful for the businesses that want to help the journey of our students at the University of Wi******er.

Thank you Dani and Izzie for your insights and for sharing your experiences/stories with our students.

And watch this space Wi******er for the launch of GOODY-GOODY™️ - something so special that it will help little ones shine from the inside out….. ☀️

An awesome day well spent at the office 💥

Lunch date perfection 🥰
It’s not often Tom and I get a lunchtime rendezvous but today we did. He’d eaten already but I was ready to try…. He loved his coffee…! ☕️

Beautiful Italian welcome and I loved the penne arrabbiata…. My all time fave and it was mouth-wateringly good.

Can’t wait to go back and try some more freshly made authentic dishes! 🇮🇹

opens on Friday 20th March at 10am on Parchment Street in Wi******er.

It was an absolute pleasure to be invited along with some students to create some social media content prior to their official opening.

It was a delight to hear from Anna, the owner as she told us about her gelato story that’s finally brings her to Wi******er.

With 12 core flavours available year round and seasonal specials, Swoon offers the most incredible tasting gelato, sorbets, personalised gelato cakes in various flavours and sizes and lots more…

Homemade smooth deliciousness is how I’d sum it up.
100% worth a visit…. Delicious….

The first 120 scoops will be free on Friday 20th when the doors open at 10am.

Best of luck Anna in your new Wi******er venue, we’re so excited you’re here.

The marketing/business and fashion marketing students are learning about UGC this week & social publishing as part of their social media marketing module.

What better way to learn than setting a live brief….
We asked them what they loved about being a student in Wi******er and what independent businesses they love visiting throughout their time in the city...

Could they create some authentic User Generated Content (UGC) to share it with the World… 🌏

Watch this space for some of their thoughts & content...

If you’re a student (or champion) in Wi******er, what businesses do you love?
