Found yourself stuck for a good traditional boozer in the Clerkenwell area? Those serial bar/restaurant entrepreneurs Barworks have just opened The Exmouth Arms. It serves fine food and drink in one of Londons most scenic market locations.

So head over there to www.exmoutharms.com and get involved!

Having worked with Barworks for a while now, we thought it would be about time to summarise the work we’ve done for them.

Barworks own a number of  hipster venues around London including the Slaughtered Lamb, Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen and Electricity Showrooms. In the past 18 months we’ve produced over 8 very different sites for them, from Flash to CMS to whizzy jQuery.

We were one of the UKs first agencies to use Papervision for a commerical website, then had it nominated for an industry award and also featured in Esquire Magazine. We’ve even managed to grow their email database by some 1,500% and shown them the ways of sending out their own content managed monthly email newsletters.

At Catch we take care of our clients, and what better way than a night out to get to know the brand. In this case, we’re more than happy to this particular client’s core values out of office hours.

Our work with the brand doesnt stop there, we continue to work with Barworks on new an exciting projects, including their very own craft brewery, the Camden Town Brewery.

London now has it’s very own craft beer, brewed in Camden Town by the newly launched Camden Town Brewery.

We’re all big fans of beer here at Catch. So you can imagine we’re over the moon to be chosen as their digital partner.

Camden Town Brewery lager, wheat beer and pale ales are now being stocked in various Barworks venues, and having had several taste tests, we can confirm they do brew a very fine pint.

The magic happens in a state of the art brewery underneath the arches moments away from Camden Town Market.

They are trying hard to prove that craft beer isn’t just for people with exceedingly long beards and beer guts. Working with some of the hottest creative teams in New York, the brand is looking sharp and we’re looking forward to cementing them as masters of their craft online in the coming months.

You can sign up to be alerted via email when their full site is going live at their temporary home www.camdentownbrewery.com.

Cheers!

Chances are you’ve had a night out in a Barworks venue. Either The Slaughtered Lamb, Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen, Electricity Showrooms, Under The Westway or Two Floors. They are all great venues, with a cutting edge music policy, quality food and great live acts… soon they’ll have a digital marketing strategy that does the brand justice.

We’d like to welcome aboard Barworks to the Catch client roster. We’re looking forward to working with Philip, Andreas and the team over the coming year to completely redevelop their suite of websites. It’s all under wraps at the moment, watch this space!
