Purple Pilchard, the one-stop marketing consultancy for ‘fantastic brands of tomorrow’ has been shortlisted for a prestigious Enterprise Nation award. 

The human food and drinks business, which has also worked with a number of the more vocal ‘shining stars’ within UK pet food, including Cotswold RAW, Doggy’s Cuppa and Nutriment, is a passionate advocate that ‘fleet-finned’ small brands with shoestring budgets are more than capable of outmanoeuvring their well-financed monolithic rivals if they pick the right causes, stories and initiatives to back. 

In a straight fight big brother brands will always triumph which is why Pilchard encourages disruptor brands to move fast and nimbly when thinking outside the tin.

According to founder, Ian Hills: "it’s a fantastic feat simply to be named in the same breath as some of the most inspirational small business champions in the UK."

Emma Jones (MBE) established the 75,000 small business collaborative ENTERPRISE NATION in 2006, was one of the 8 big fish who set up StartUp Britain in 2011and in 2015 was made by the PM a new Business Ambassador for expanding GB’s International Trade.
