Business Details
10 Years
experience
We start by finding out what you want to promote, who you need to reach and what your team can take on. A launch might call for photography, press activity and social content. An established venue may need a regular marketing plan, a clearer website or help keeping its channels up to date. The brief decides the work.
Our hospitality social media management covers planning and day-to-day content for agreed channels. Hospitality PR focuses on genuine stories and relevant media. We also create photography, video and written content, plan paid social advertising, support influencer campaigns and produce email newsletters.
For hospitality website development, we build WordPress sites around the information guests need and the actions the business wants them to take. That can mean finding a menu, exploring rooms, enquiring about an event or reaching the booking system. Local visibility support can help keep business information clear across search and listings.
Founded in 2016, Spotty Media can work alongside your team on an ongoing basis or take on a defined project. You do not need every service to get started. Tell us about your business, your timing and the job you need the marketing to do, and we can agree a practical scope.

Services
Social Media Management
Hospitality social media management for restaurants, hotels, bars, pubs and food and drink brands. We plan content around your menus, people, events and business priorities, then manage agreed channels. Photography, video and paid advertising can be included in a separately agreed scope.
PR & Media
Hospitality PR built around a story worth telling. We help shape news about openings, menus, chefs, events and food and drink businesses, prepare press materials and approach relevant media. Each campaign has an agreed brief; publication remains an editorial decision.
Website Development
WordPress website development for hospitality businesses. We organise useful information about your venue or brand and create clear routes to menus, rooms, events, bookings or enquiries. Features and any third-party booking or payment connections are agreed for the project rather than assumed to be included.
Influencer Marketing
Influencer marketing for hospitality and food and drink brands. We help plan a relevant collaboration, considering the audience, the creative brief and what the business wants to share. Deliverables, fees, usage rights and disclosure requirements need to be agreed for each campaign.

Questions
Can Spotty Media help with a one-off project?
Yes. You can appoint us for a defined project or campaign rather than ongoing marketing support. That might be a website, a launch, photography or a PR campaign. We agree the work, timing and responsibilities before it starts. Ongoing support is also available where your business needs it.
Do you only work with hospitality businesses?
Hospitality is our specialism. We work with restaurants, hotels, pubs, bars, venues and accommodation businesses, alongside food and drink brands, suppliers, events and destination organisations. Our services can include social media management, PR, content creation and website development, with the mix agreed for each brief.
Can you work with businesses outside North East England?
Yes. Spotty Media is based in Durham and has a strong focus across the North of England, but we support hospitality businesses throughout the UK. We agree how the work will be delivered as part of the brief.

Our new website not only looks the part but has a much smoother customer journey. They took the time to understand our brand, turned problems into solutions, and weve seen an uplift in bookings for our accommodation.
