Hello
Big Dinner is Matt and Lil, and we're a food and drink consultancy based in Leeds.
We want to help you tell everyone about the great stuff you make and do.
Services
Social Media
Your business needs a voice, and there are thousands of people ready to listen on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. We can build you an online community that talks back, with content that reaches the right people and keeps them engaged. Whether that means starting from scratch or building a strategy around your digital best bits, we love getting social.
Content
At Big Dinner, we’re big into words: concise, attractive copy for websites and promo material, tasty sounding menus and attention-grabbing email content, alongside eye-catching imagery and everything else you need to fill that scary blank page. We can hook you up with the kind of content customers (and search engines) love, everything from culinary travel guides to gluten-free recipe tips, all tailored to your community.
Branding
It seems like brand is everything in food and drink, but a flashy logo won’t do much good without real personality backing it up. Businesses come in all shapes and sizes, and we can turn your bright spark into a living, breathing concept, developing a bespoke tone of voice and working with graphic, web and retail designers to provide everything from vintage shop signage to custom menu typography.
Strategy
There’s no point shouting if no one is listening, so a business model grounded in locality and community is essential. Whether you’re an artisan bakery or a jacket potato shop, we can carry out market research, build customer profiles and craft a communications strategy that grows your business and connects you to all the right people. We love a party, and if you do too we can throw a show-off bash to get you noticed and work with industry PR experts to make a splash in the press.
Training
We can write your tweets and take your photos, but we can also teach you to fish with bespoke training that fits your business and, most importantly, your people. You can bring Big Dinner in for a day’s workshop, or work with us to craft useful, accessible guideline documents for communications, marketing and social media to share with your team.There are so many simple rules that take time to learn, time that you don’t have, so let us give you a hand.
Events
Not all businesses are bricks and mortar, and at Big Dinner we’ve run everything from launch parties to street food markets. If you want to do something a bit different and you need a leg-up, we can provide project management, rustle up a diverse, quality food offer or just give you some top tips. The only thing we can’t sort is the weather.
Styling
You know your food tastes good, but it needs to look good too. Blurry camera-phone pics don’t do anyone any favours, so we’ll refine your visual identity, set up shoots with top photographers and style your food, table and venue. Whether it’s for press, print, your website or Instagram, we’ll get what’s on the plate ready for its closeup.
All of the Above
We've worked with everyone from tiny independent cafés to expanding national chains, and we started our own food festival along the way, so whatever project you have in mind you're in good hands. Whether you’ve got something new to launch or just need your sparkle back, we can tailor a package of services to fit you, your budget and your business.
