Make It Your Own

Many good things happened in 1876. The telephone was invented. Someone founded the first professional baseball league. Charles Wells bought his first pub. And thus, he founded our client, Wells & Co. Together, GGDG and Wells & Co. have 153 years’ experience doing good business. 148 of those years belong to Wells & Co. Fast forward to now, the problem they had was simple. Get good people to run their good pubs. A problem that was no match for a good agency like us. Roll the tape.

Everyone we spoke to at Wells & Co. could articulate why they were great at what they do. The problem was, most people on the outside didn’t know what made them so special. Our first challenge. We needed to bolster their employer brand from the inside out. We poked around a bit and uncovered a trove of stories to be told.

RESULTS, SUCCESS, RENEWAL

We brought the unique stories of the current Wells & Co. Pub Partners into full view through content creation. The autonomy and freedom they have to make their pubs their own. The belief and trust they get. They support to achieve the vision they have for the communities they serve. We told it all.

But we’ve also expanded our storytelling for the rest of the business too. Heritage and legacy of 148 years? Told. Major brewing facility in the heart of Bedford known for innovation and creation? Boxed. Large pub estate in France shaping the culture and nightlife? Oui. Commitment to delivering the next generation of incredible kitchen workers? Yes, Chef! Sustainability strategy that shows how they’re leading from the front and creating change? Done. What’s next? Who knows. But we know it’ll be good.
