Did you know that cork is hypoallergenic, stain-resistant and waterproof? Neither did we! It's also a great vegan-friendly alternative to leather, and in the expert hands of Katherine from DRYAD, it makes for some gorgeous accessories and jewellery. We particularly like her adorable mushroom earrings 🍄

Not quite sure where to start or what to focus your marketing strategy on this year?

Here are 3 marketing tips you NEED to know now ➡

Name a better way to say 'Happy Easter' to a loved one than with this beautiful daffodil card by ! Not to mention that this card is made from plantable seeded card, so you’re helping out the planet too 🌼✨

April is Stress Awareness Month, and if you’re feeling burnt-out, here are a few tips to help you feel refreshed and de-stressed this spring:

🌟 Meditation - this is one of the most effective ways to deal with stress, as it helps you learn to quiet the mind.

🌟 Exercise - adding any form of exercise into your daily routine can help battle the debilitating effects of stress.

🌟 Set realistic goals - it’s healthy to realise that you can’t be 100% successful at everything all at once. Remind yourself that you don’t have to meet the expectations of others.

Marketing without a strategy is like fishing without a rod - eventually, you might get something, but it's chaotic and unreliable🎣

Having a good strategy in place gives you clarity and means everyone is working towards the same goals. This is why we create bespoke and personalised plans, designed with your business needs in mind.

Is email marketing dead? Not even close...

Email marketing often takes a back seat to the ever-present social media marketing, but it’s still a major player in the mix. With over 4 billion emails users in 2020 alone and a return on investment (ROI) of 3800%, it's safe to say email marketing is critical for content marketing success.

Still not convinced? Read our latest blog to find out why you should be introducing email marketing to your strategy if you haven't already - https://www.turnhousemarketing.co.uk/post/is-email-marketing-dead-not-even-close

Relax, unwind, and unplug because it's National Day of Unplugging.

We know, we know - we're ones to talk! But, even as a marketing company, we still understand how important it is to step away from your devices every so often for your mental health.

Take this day to carve out precious time to unwind, reflect, be active, visit the outdoors, and connect with loved ones.

The Bristol Artisan's dried mimosa bunches have certainly brightened our day 💛

Did you know that at least one in six employees experience mental health problems such as anxiety and depression? Research by Mind Charity found that work is the biggest cause of stress in people’s lives.

The good news? Since the pandemic, Bristol businesses have made the mental wellbeing of their employees a priority and are encouraging other organisations across the UK to do the same.

If you haven't dipped your toe into the world of short-form video content, then maybe this is a sign that you should.

With TikTok taking over in a very short period of time, video content across social media certainly isn't going anywhere and the statistics are showing us why.

We were recently lucky enough to take part in a cider tasting event at The Old Bookshop Bristol on behalf of our client, Bristol Cider Shop.

Today, we celebrate the role of all of the amazing women and girls in the industry - not only as beneficiaries, but also as agents of change.

Who run the world? Girls!

The festival will allow local artists to show off their talent in some of Bristol's most iconic landmarks.

Is McDonald's a guilty pleasure of yours? If so, you're in luck.

It's currently being trialled in 10 locations across the UK - will you be taking part in this when you have the chance?

Booze and cake: name a better combination, we dare you.

Our mouths are drooling from just looking at this beautiful espresso martini cake, made by the incredible AhhToots for Bristol Distilling Co .

How is it August already?! While the heatwave might have broken (thankfully - I do not function well above 25 degrees), I'm still looking forward to living that Great British Summer lifestyle, come rain or shine! The good people over at Box-E are serving up some seriously tempting summer dishes, like this roast yellow courgette with handpicked crab and seaweed butter, served with a glass of orange wine.
