2021 got off to an incredibly tough start for everyone in the hospitality industry. Restaurants and bars across the country were forced to close and in so many cases, the first thing that businesses put on hold was their PR and Marketing with many businesses deeming this unnecessary or now having the time to take this on themselves.
In January, Posh Cockney had just two part-time members of staff and three clients, 12 months on and those numbers have rocketed. We now have 17 clients, with many more on the horizon, as well as 10 full-time members of staff.
The introduction of the Future Star Programme has been a huge success for the company and has allowed us to offer many of our interns full-time positions within the company.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the highlights of 2021.
Restaurant openings
We love opening new restaurants and this year we have had the privilege of being involved in the opening of three restaurants in 2021.
EGGOLAND, Ritu and Eco Kingston all opened their doors for the first time this year, with a launch party planned, arranged and carried out by the Posh Cockney team.
Learn more about how we launched Eggoland here.
We are looking forward to opening Em Sherif in January 2021 and relaunching Hamlet Hotel Maidstone in the spring.
PR
The Posh Cockney PR team have had a phenomenal year, landing coverage in almost every major UK publication including, GQ, Daily Mail, The Telegraph, Evening Standard, Ok! And many more.
As well as this, Eggoland founder Sohail Ahmad was interviewed on Sky News, GB news, ITV and BBC.
It has been a difficult year for press coverage, with loud news stories taking over the headlines and a huge amount of new restaurants opening in London. But our team have worked hard to build relationships and get our clients seen.
Take a look at some of our client press here.

This year, we have fully integrated Posh Cockney Productions with our PR and Marketing packages. This has allowed us to create incredible content for our clients that perfectly aligns with their upcoming campaigns.
