Eventy Raise a Glass with Skinner’s

July 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Eventy – Marketing & PR, based in Penryn, teamed up with Skinner’s Brewery in January to focus on securing local and national coverage of the brewery’s developments, alongside the use of social media tools to share the different initiatives that they support in the community.  

Steve Skinner, Chief Executive of Skinner’s, is delighted with the results that Eventy has secured for the brewery and looks forward to an ongoing working relationship:

“Since working with Eventy – Marketing & PR we have enjoyed significant coverage in a wide range of local and national publications.  With something like a press release, being a full marketing agency, Eventy is also able to make it work that much harder for us.  For example we now share our news through our Twitter account which Eventy has helped us to build to over 1,800 followers and is increasing every day.”

Steve continued, “I try to ensure that the brewery supports the local community wherever it can and this is something else that Eventy is helping us to communicate more.  Ultimately this will all help sales and therefore is a good return on investment for the company.  Recently the “Royal Wave” that we launched to celebrate the jubilee sold out in a matter of days!”

Skinner’s are known for their colourfully illustrated beers, named after characters from Cornish folklore.  The family-run brewery sponsor many events in the Cornish calendar as well as supporting local organisations and charities, not to mention their very own Betty Stogs who fundraises throughout the year.

Helen Mulhern, Managing Director of Eventy – Marketing & PR said:

“We are delighted to have agreed an on-going working relationship with Skinner’s.  The brewery personifies everything that is great about Cornish businesses - they have a fantastic product, are innovative and creative in how they engage people and give something back to the community in which they operate. Their team and products are a pleasure to work with and we look forward to sharing more successes with them, as well as a pint!”
