A company in its’ first week of trading, Porterlight had no established community and no network to work within. Despite this, and with only 2 weeks to work, I was able to secure sponsorship from Dodds Gin, Heineken, Virtue Iced Tea, Propercorn & 5 Points Brewery.
I was able to secure speakers including Sarah Drinkwater (Head of Googles Campus London), Danny Bent (Founder of Project Awesome) and Colin Pyle (Featured on The Discovery Channel) for the events, resulting in an out of hours footfall of ~250 people.
We received write ups from London Pop Ups, The Evening Standard, Such and Such and were listed on the Time Out Blog as one of ‘The 13 best pop-ups happening this August’.
