Tell us a bit about your company:

At Chess Marketing, we believe that behind every great brand is a story that deserves to be heard. We’re a practical, no-nonsense team of marketing enthusiasts dedicated to helping businesses find their voice and grow their market share. While our background spans 25 years across the B2B and B2C landscapes, we’re here at Northern Restaurant & Bar because we’re passionate about the North's vibrant hospitality scene and the people who make it happen.

We know that in this industry, your time is your most precious commodity. You don’t need ‘off-the-shelf’ templates or marketing jargon; you need a partner who acts as a true extension of your team. Our philosophy is simple: we treat your business as if it were our own. Whether you’re an independent gem looking to make your mark or a larger operator aiming to stay ahead of the curve, we provide bespoke marketing that focuses on one thing: making a real, tangible difference to your bottom line.

Visitors to our stand will find a team that values conversation over sales pitches. We’re excited to showcase how we blend data-driven strategy with creative spark – from building visually stunning, high-conversion websites to managing brand reputations that foster deep customer loyalty. We’re here to ensure your brand doesn't just join the conversation but leads it.

Marketing shouldn't be a mystery, and it shouldn't feel like a chore. At the Northern Restaurant & Bar Show, the Chess Marketing team is here to take the weight off your shoulders. We know your passion is the food, the drink, and the guest experience – our passion is making sure those elements translate into a powerful brand and a packed venue.

We invite all attendees to visit us at Stand NB120 for a candid conversation about your current marketing challenges. Are your social media efforts converting into bookings? Is your website working as hard as your front-of-house staff? Is your brand message getting lost in the crowd? We are here to listen and offer real-world, practical advice tailored to your specific goals.

As a special highlight for NRB26, we are offering visitors the opportunity to book a free, no-obligation Marketing Audit or Consultancy Session. This is a deep dive into your current digital presence and strategy, where we identify exactly where you can improve and how to maximise your ROI.

Don't leave your next move to chance. Whether you're looking for a full brand refresh or just want to sense-check your current digital strategy, come and see us at Stand NB120. Let’s discuss how we can help you turn your vision into a measurable success.
