SUCCESS STORIES | Chester-le-EATS 🍔🍷🎶 

The best ideas don't always start in a boardroom. Sometimes they start over a conversation about great food and drink.

When Spotty Media founder @georga_spotty met @durhamcricket_ Events and Marketing Manager @ythangrams through @durhambusinessgroup, one question sparked an idea:

How do we create an event that brings the community together while growing Durham Cricket's events offering?

The answer became Chester-le-EATS.

From day one, Spotty Media partnered with Durham Cricket to:
✨ Develop the event concept
✨ Provide marketing consultancy
✨ Lead PR and social media
✨ Drive awareness and ticket demand

The result?

📈 A festival that has grown year after year
📈 10,000 visitors across two days
📈 The launch of a fifth anniversary event - on 26th and 27th September 2026 - packed with even more experiences, including brand-new food and drink masterclasses.

For us, marketing is more than content.

It's about creating destinations, building communities and delivering ideas that people want to be part of.

Here's to five incredible years - and the next chapter

SUCCESS STORIES | Tin of Sardines 🌅

The best marketing ideas are sometimes the simplest.

Four years ago, @tinofsardinesroker opened as a gin bar on the Roker Riviera. - with a terrace area and unrivalled views over Roker beach. 

Morning were a missed opportunity. Instead of asking people to stay out later, we asked…

What if they came earlier?

Inspired by Ibiza's famous sunset culture, we flipped the concept and created Sunrise Sessions – bringing together coffee, brunch and one of the best sunrise views on the North East coast.

✨ Fully booked from launch.
☕ A completely new audience.
🌅 Four years later, they're still going strong.

Social media isn't just about posting content. It's about creating moments, experiences and reasons for people to visit

We love hospitality - which is exactly why we make time to experience it 🍽️✨

Some of our best ideas don’t happen in meetings… they happen across a table, sharing great food, soaking up standout service, and properly switching perspective.

Our latest brainstorming session took us to @thepottedlobster 🦞
And honestly… how can you not be inspired by champagne and oysters? 🥂🦪

Work doesn’t always look like work - and that’s kind of the point.

Insta vs Reality…

Proof that even the professionals don’t get it right first time 😂

Swipe to see our first attempt 👉

Creating content isn’t always as polished as it looks — it’s trial, error, and a lot of takes in between.

But that’s the process… and that’s where the good stuff comes from 🎬

Big things coming to Durham in 2026… 🎷

We’re excited to be working with the Durham Jazz Festival on the launch of their brand new event.

From building their website to supporting PR around the launch, this is a great example of how we work across multiple services to bring a project to life 🚀

We love being involved from the ground up – helping shape not just how something looks, but how it’s introduced to the world.

Keep your eyes peeled… this one’s going to be special.

🍷 Business as Usual at Veeno Durham

The owners of Veeno Durham have announced that the restaurant is trading as normal and continues to welcome guests, following recent developments involving the wider Veeno Bars brand.

Dan and Donna, said: "We want to reassure our customers and the local community that Veeno Durham is trading as normal and remains a strong and stable business. Since opening in September, we’ve been overwhelmed by the fantastic support from the people of Durham and are proud to be part of the city’s vibrant hospitality scene."

Recent changes affecting the wider Veeno business relate to a strategic restructuring following the closure of a small number of sites. As part of this process, the brand was acquired out of administration by its original founder, Nino Caruso, ensuring its continued stability and long-term viability.

DON’T POST YET 👀
Fix your setup first.

Before you even think about hitting record, get these three things right:

1️⃣ Film in 4K 
For the best quality and flexibility. Use 30fps for most content, and 60fps when you want smoother movement or slow motion.

2️⃣ Stability matters
Use a tripod for static shots to avoid shakiness.
If you’re moving, use a gimbal — or move your body, not just your hands, to keep footage smooth.

3️⃣ Use natural light
Film near windows or in soft daylight to make colours pop and your content feel fresh.
Low light? A simple ring light can make a huge difference.

Get this right, and your content instantly looks more professional. Save this post for your next shoot! Or get in touch with Spotty Media - as we deliver professional shoots for all our clients.
