Regional development body SECCADS have agreed to part-fund the R&D phase of a new project that we are very excited about.

HOP Digital - hopdigital.works - is an idea that I have been developing for more than a year but with Coronavirus and lockdown there felt like a particular urgency about getting it up and running. I’ve assembled a small team to push things forward, including longtime collaborator Vicki Murrell, designer Victor Liew and food entrepreneur and marketeer, Kate Rintoul.

We want to provide independent food and drink producers with outstanding media assets, coupled with a clear marketing strategy on their use, in order to help these businesses develop a strong online presence in support of their e-commerce activities.

There’s lots of research still to do but very excited about this,
