About us
Hospitality marketing people. In that order.
Venue Marketing Group has spent the last 14 years helping restaurants, pubs, hotels and venues get found, get booked and get repeat custom – backed by 30 years of marketing experience with thousands of large and small companies.
We’re not a generic digital agency with a “hospitality page” on the website. Venues are all we work with – so we already know your margins are tight, your Tuesdays are quiet, your best marketing photo was taken by a waitress on an iPhone, and September is harder than anyone admits.
We were also early to AI – nearly ten years ago we pioneered its use across hospitality marketing, from smarter targeting to sharper content, long before it was fashionable. We know what it’s good for, what it isn’t, and where a human touch still wins.
Just like social media, AI should be a servant not a master.
Whatever state your marketing is in, we’ve seen worse. No jargon, no judgement – we’ll meet you where you are.
We’re based in the the UK and work with venues across the UK. Some of them you know very well, but you don’t realise that we are the marketing team behind them and have been for 14 years in some cases.

What we believe
Three things we’ll never budge on.
Marketing should pay for itself – visibly.
If you can’t see it in bookings, it isn’t working. We judge everything we do in covers, bookings and revenue.
Your customer list always beats the algorithms.
Social media is rented ground; your customer list is yours. We build the asset you own first, then use social to feed it.
No jargon, no judgment, no bullsh*t
You’ll never get a deck full of buzzwords from us — just what we’ll do, when, and what we expect to happen as a result.
