Brand set-up and marketing lead2025 to now, one year and counting

Build yourbusiness onsolid ground.

Shipping container kitchens and bars, to rent or buy, for events anywhere in the UK. I helped set the brand up from a blank page and I've run its marketing for a year and counting: the look, the voice, the films, the ads, the website, and the events that sell the next booking.

What I do for them

The wholemarketing side.

One person, one camera bag, one plan. Brand, content, ads and web all pulling the same way.

01

Brand set-up

Design system, logo use, colour, type and a tone of voice that sounds like a person, not a brochure.

02

Film and photo

On site at Silverstone, Aintree and Vegan Camp Out. Reels, timelapses, stills and trader testimonials.

03

Social

Three content pillars, a monthly plan and a feed that grew tenfold. Instagram and LinkedIn, run day to day.

04

Paid ads

Meta and Google campaigns aimed at enquiries, not likes, with the content tested before the budget goes in.

05

CGI concepts

Concept renders that put a unit in a setting before it exists, so buyers can picture it at their event.

06

Web and SEO

Webflow site, landing pages and on-page SEO. Score up from 58 to 66.

07

Campaigns

Win a Week's Free Hire and Sorted Before December, built to fill the calendar in the quiet months.

08

Press

Stories placed with the trade press, including MCA Insight and Propel.

On the ground

Every eventsells the next.

I film the build, the rush and the people serving. Each event comes back as reels, a case study and an article that does the selling for the next booking.

Four units feeding race fans across the weekend. The biggest crowd of the year and the best proof of what the kitchens can handle.

Aintree

Five units at Aintree Racecourse. The hero reel cuts from the racing to the queues, the food and the faces, in twenty seconds. The content plan runs the same way every time: build, rush, people, results.

The repeatable bit

Before. During. After.
A reel, a case study and an article from every event.

Campaign / Winter

Sorted beforeDecember.

Christmas markets get booked early. The winter campaign tells the story in thirty seconds: freezing traders under gazebos, then the switch to a warm, ready to trade BoxKitchen unit. The reel and the posts sold the same idea everywhere.

Black first.Loud whenit counts.

Built so anyone can make a post that looks like BoxKitchen: black and white first, one signal yellow used sparingly, heavy caps, clipped corners and the hazard stripe from the unit fascias.

CGI concepts

Sell it beforeit's built.

Concept renders put a unit where a buyer can picture it: a park kiosk, a Christmas market, a corporate street food day. Always labelled as concepts, never passed off as photos.
