For a sixth year running, we’re delighted to welcome back Brew as supporters of Birmingham Design Festival 2026

Brew is proud to be sponsoring the Birmingham Design Festival (BDF) for a sixth consecutive year, continuing a long-standing commitment to championing creativity in the city.

As a Birmingham-based digital marketing agency with more than 15 years of experience, Brew works with pubs, restaurants, and leading hospitality brands to help them achieve their digital best.

Design and branding sit at the heart of everything Brew does, so supporting a festival that celebrates and elevates design talent feels like a natural fit. BDF continues to play a vital role in showcasing Birmingham’s creative community, and Brew is delighted to remain part of that journey in 2026.

A year of Brew

The past year has been a landmark one for the agency. In 2025, Brew was named Agency Team of the Year at the Midlands Marketing Awards, alongside picking up Digital Marketing Agency of the Year at the We Are Creative Awards.

Adding to this momentum, Brew’s own Scott Barker recently won UX Designer of the Year at the inaugural National Digital Awards 2026 – a testament to the strength of the agency’s design expertise.

Brew’s close ties to BDF run deep. Based at STEAMhouse, a key festival venue and fellow supporter, the agency has longstanding connections with the event, with team members who are former volunteers and graduates from local institutions. This shared history makes their continued sponsorship all the more meaningful.

Recent work highlights Brew’s impact across the hospitality sector. Its work on the Mitchells & Butlers Dining Out Gift Card website has delivered impressive results, including:

• 61% year-on-year revenue growth
• 78% increase in purchase events
• 8% increase in first-time purchasers
• 6% increase in average purchase value
• 5%–154.7% uplift in key homepage outbound clicks

Alongside this, projects such as Run a Pub with Robinsons, Innkeeper’s Collection multi-location photography, and social content creation for The Engine Room showcase the diversity of Brew’s expertise.

Authentic pub and hospitality photography

Notably, Brew has taken a distinctive approach to visual content in recent years. While many turned towards AI-generated imagery, the agency made a deliberate investment in professional photography – building an in-house offering that has quickly become one of its fastest-growing services. It’s a move that reflects Brew’s belief in authenticity, quality, and creating standout brand experiences.

From branding and web design to SEO, paid media, and social campaigns, Brew continues to blend creative thinking with technical expertise to deliver measurable results for hospitality businesses across the UK.
