Hog Roast Edgbaston recently had the pleasure of working with a relatively young start up focused on giving students experience in the digital marketing field while they are still studying. The sole aim came from a former university student, Harold, who found that opportunities for work just were not there while he was studying because most job advertisements, even at entry level roles, required some form of experience to even be considered. Something of a recursive loop, he found, that went nowhere for most other students like him.
So he began his own digital marketing agency following his graduation with an aim to work with local businesses, set them up with student agents, and uplift their social media presence. Despite being relatively new, Harold has found such considerable success so far that he reckoned the end of 2024 was the right time to treat his whole staff + any student freelancers that could make it to a festive treat from Hog Roast Edgbaston!
While the typical image of most students would suggest that just a free Dominos pizza would suffice for the office, Harold recognised that for such an achievement he had to go bigger. So, he came to Hog Roast Edgbaston for his end of year catering, knowing that we could provide a top end roast dining experience for a relatively low and flexible cost. We wouldn’t want any of our local upstarts having to blow part of their budget just to enjoy the best roast in all of British corporate catering, would we!
Harold had actually learned of Hog Roast Edgbaston’s corporate catering while working the social media for a shared client of ours. We had provided catering for their AGM, and Harold’s team shared photos of the event to promote the company socials. Henceforth, Harold kept the Hog Roast Edgbaston name in mind after seeing an incredible photo of one our signature hog roasts – taken by one of his own students!
We had a lot to love up to with how that brilliant photo made us look, but fortunately the Hog Roast Edgbaston team is always up to the task. An exceptional, Instagram worthy buffet was put up with our prized hog roast and a festive turkey right at the centre of it – the perfect way to celebrate any year’s success for an upstart!
