Hatch invests in new Leeds HQ studio kitchen

The new studio kitchen is fully equipped with a filming rig, lighting and sound set up
Leeds headquartered creative communications agency, Hatch, has added a new dish to the agency’s menu of services for food & beverage brands, following significant investment in its Leeds office.
The agency, which specialises in PR, social media, content and activation, has unveiled a new studio kitchen, fully equipped with a filming rig, lighting and sound setup, allowing for overhead shots and flat lay photography, in its Leeds Dock office.
The investment comes in response to increased demand from clients for high quality, mouthwatering food and beverage content and enables Hatch to shoot recipes, lifestyle and product photography and deliver live demonstrations, as well as enabling the agency to react immediately to fast changing consumer trends and create content quickly and professionally all from its Leeds office.
To celebrate the launch of this new service, the agency is offering food and beverage brands a free consultation with its team of experts to review brands’ current PR, social media and content strategies and offer tailored advice on how to navigate the current climate and stand out in a crowded market.
Food and drink have been at the heart of Hatch’s client roster since it was founded 15 years ago. The agency has worked with some of the industry’s leading food and drink brands in recent years, including Diageo, Wensleydale Creamery and Intercontinental Brand (ICB), as well as household names like George Foreman, Hisense and Russell Hobbs, to deliver inspiring content and a string of hugely successful campaigns.
Account director, Alex Halls, who is heading up the offering at Hatch, said: “We are thrilled to be expanding our services and making the most out of our office and studio kitchen.
“We’ve seen, with the rise of TikTok in particular, that if you stand still for a second in the food and drink industry you’ll miss a key trend, so it’s really important to be able to react straight away and produce inspiring and engaging content quickly and to a high standard.
“The in-house demonstration kitchen, along with the experience and the skills we have in the team, is something that really sets us apart from a lot of other agencies.
“From recipe creation, product styling, PR, social media and even brand development, there’s really nothing we can’t do when it comes to getting your food or drink brand in front of the right people.”
