Pub Marketing Unplugged: Stories, Strategies & Smart Tools

Running a pub or restaurant has never been tougher. Margins are thin, competition is fierce, and marketing moves at the speed of TikTok. But here’s the good news: the secret to filling your venue isn’t endless discounts or complicated campaigns — it’s smart, story-driven marketing.

Pub Marketing Unplugged is your weekly guide to making hospitality marketing simple, profitable, and even fun. Hosted by Shaun, a pub landlord and SaaS founder who’s blended years of front-line experience with modern marketing strategies, this show breaks down exactly what works in 2025.

Each episode turns timeless ideas from legends like David Ogilvy, Gary Vaynerchuk, Alex Hormozi, and Seth Godin into practical steps any landlord, bar manager, or restaurateur can use. From crafting headlines that sell beer, to building loyalty with storytelling, to harnessing AI tools like SmartPubTools — you’ll walk away with proven strategies to grow footfall, increase spend per head, and build a brand your community loves.

Expect:

• Actionable episodes (10–20 minutes) you can listen to before opening the bar.
• Real examples from pubs, restaurants, and hospitality campaigns.
• Content frameworks adapted from the world’s top marketers — made pub-friendly.
• Tools and resources to save time and boost your bottom line.

This isn’t theory. It’s practical marketing, spoken in a language publicans understand. No jargon, no hype — just the strategies that fill tables and sell pints.
