Inn-timate Weddings
Greene King
THE CHALLENGE
To highlight what makes Greene King Inns distinctive, driving awareness of the pubs’ venues and function spaces.
In particular, WPR was tasked with raising the profile of Greene King’s wedding packages.
THE IDEA
Knowing the wedding industry had experienced significant disruption during the pandemic, we commissioned research to uncover couples’ priorities for their post-pandemic wedding planning.
Exploring changes in attitudes, we found many couples were opting for smaller-scale, intimate events despite restrictions lifting. We linked the desire to be surrounded by only their nearest and dearest to the suitability of cosier venues such as pubs and inns.
A national PR campaign led with the research insights and incorporated the messaging that Greene King Inns offers plenty of places to tie the knot.
THE RESULTS
The topical story and idea of getting hitched in your local captured interest and we quickly secured:
- 13 pieces of national coverage, including in The Sun, The Express and The Mirror
- Four bridal press hits.
More than half (52%) of coverage included details of Greene King Inns’ wedding packages.
