Spotty Media

Our relationship with Spotty Media has grown into a genuine partnership over the last four years. What started with the creation of the Durham BID website, has evolved into a collaborative approach to marketing that has helped shape the way we promote Durham city centre.

The team doesn't just deliver creative ideas - they understand our objectives, challenge our thinking and bring fresh strategic insight to every project. From developing successful campaigns such as Durham Restaurant Week and Durham Independents to leading our social media activity. Spotty has consistently helped us connect businesses, residents and visitors in meaningful ways.

Their creativity and strategic thinking were instrumental in developing the Make it Durham campaign, creating a clear and ambitious brand that brings together our partners and businesses under one unified message. They understand the city, they understand our stakeholders and, most importantly, they understand how to create campaigns that people genuinely want to be part of.

Spotty Media has become an extension of our team, and their passion, professionalism and ability to deliver results make them an invaluable partner for Durham BID.

Working with Georga and Spotty Media has been instrumental in the growth and success of Chester-le-EATS.

From the outset, Georga helped us create a professional and streamlined trader application process, including the development of an online booking and application system that made it significantly easier for businesses to apply, communicate with us, and secure their place at the festival. This not only improved the experience for traders but also saved valuable administration time for our team.

Beyond the practical systems, Georga has provided invaluable consultancy on our overall marketing strategy. Her insight into what tactics will genuinely deliver results, combined with a clear understanding of our audience, has helped shape the direction of the festival's promotion year after year.

One of Spotty Media's greatest strengths is its expertise in public relations. As a former journalist, Georga has an exceptional ability to identify stories that resonate with both audiences and the media. Her press releases are engaging, professionally written and newsworthy, resulting in coverage across regional newspapers, websites and media outlets that we would have struggled to achieve on our own.

The team also takes the time to truly understand the brand. Rather than applying a generic approach to social media, they immerse themselves in the personality and values of Chester-le-EATS, allowing them to create content and campaigns that feel authentic and connect with our audience. Their social media support has helped increase awareness, engagement and excitement around the event each year.

Most importantly, all of these elements work together to deliver measurable results. Through improved marketing, stronger media coverage, effective social media campaigns and a professional trader experience, Spotty Media has played a significant role in helping Chester-le-EATS continue to grow, attracting more visitors, more traders and greater recognition across the region.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Georga and Spotty Media to any organisation looking for a proactive, knowledgeable and results-driven marketing and PR partner.

Durham Jazz Festival engaged Spotty Media to support us in the development of our website and as our marketing partner.

We have been completely blown away by the quality of their work. The website looks absolutely fantastic and, most importantly, Spotty Media have brought their marketing and copywriting expertise to provide an integrated service across design and promotion that has delivered huge value.
They have been extremely professional, flexible and a joy to work with. They have become part of the team rather than a service provider, bringing new ideas and constructive criticism. Finally, they have been very sensitive to our commercial constraints as a startup festival and have been flexible in tailoring their offer to meet our budget whilst delivering the outcomes we need.

They are playing a huge role in the successful launch of our festival and we would thoroughly recommend them to any organisation looking to build a digital presence and promote a new product, service or event.
