"Working with Vicky was fun, creative and really easy. She came and experienced Little Seed, which was refreshing. And on reflection, essential, to be able to create truly authentic copy."

Joanne Nicholson, Owner, Little Seed Field

What they wanted: ‘Wild but not hippy’

Rachelle Atkin at the Yorkshire Marketing Company brought me in to help deliver a 12-month marketing strategy for Little Seed Field, a glampsite near Ripon in the Yorkshire Dales.

Owner Joanne Nicholson wanted the brand to capture two things: the wild, natural setting, and the slow escape from modern life that guests come for.

The challenge was sounding special without sounding overdramatic (in Joanne's words, "wild but not hippy"), in a market full of glampsites promising peace, nature and fairy lights. Sound like everyone else, and guests have no reason to choose you.

What I delivered:

1. A straightforward voice laced with magic

Guests need practical information: where to park, what's included, how to book. But they also need to imagine themselves there, or they won't book at all.

So we created a voice that's straightforward where it needs to be and poetic where it counts. The strapline 'Make Memories Wildly' sets the tone. Poetic asides bring the setting to life, and real five-star guest reviews sit alongside the copy, so proof backs up the magic.

2. Irresistible on-brand wedding package names

Weddings are a big opportunity for Little Seed Field, but "small", "medium" and "large" packages make a once-in-a-lifetime day sound like a coffee order.

So the packages became Have & Hold, Gather Together, and Love is Grand. Couples can see straight away which suits the size of their celebration, and each name feels like part of the day, not a price list.

3. Guest experiences as Little Seed Stories

To write about Little Seed Field authentically, I needed to experience it. So I stayed in the Field Mouse cabin with my family. Joanne says that visit was essential to getting the copy right.

It also sparked an idea: Little Seed Stories, a guest-generated content series that shares real stays in guests' own words. It gives future guests an honest, unbiased view, keeps past guests connected and gives the marketing team a steady supply of fresh content.

The results?
See them here for yourself.

A glampsite that sounds as special as it feels, with one voice running from the website to wedding packages and social content.
