The Manor, Aylesbury

The Challenge

The Manor, a sophisticated three-floor hospitality venue offering fine dining, curated cocktails, live music, and seasonal events, needed a complete overhaul of its digital presence. While the venue itself delivered a premium customer experience, its outdated website failed to reflect this quality online.

The existing site was difficult to navigate, not mobile-optimised, and poorly structured for modern user behaviour, with limited emphasis on bookings, events, or menus. As a result, potential customers struggled to engage with the brand online, and discoverability through search engines was low.

In an increasingly competitive hospitality landscape, The Manor needed a fresh, functional, and visually compelling digital presence, supported by ongoing marketing efforts that would drive both footfall and brand loyalty.

Our Approach

We started by reimagining The Manor’s digital identity from the ground up - with a new website and a comprehensive digital marketing strategy to match the vibrancy, elegance, and versatility of the venue itself.

Our multi-channel strategy included:

• Website Design & Development
  We designed and built a new website tailored to the customer journey. Visually rich and fully mobile-responsive, the site was structured to make it easy for visitors to browse menus, book tables or events, and explore what’s on across each of The Manor’s three themed floors. From bottomless brunches to jazz nights and cocktail masterclasses, every experience was brought to life with high quality imagery and clear calls to action.

  SEO best practices were woven into every element of the site, improving visibility on search engines and making it easier for new guests to discover the venue.

• Digital Advertising
  We launched a suite of targeted Google and Meta Ad campaigns aimed at key customer segments, including couples looking for date night destinations, groups searching for private hire venues, and weekend brunch seekers. Campaigns were continuously optimised to drive traffic, boost bookings, and amplify awareness of special events.

• Organic Social Media Management
  To maintain a consistent brand voice and drive engagement, we took over The Manor’s social media content creation. From mouth watering food photography and behind-the-scenes glimpses to event highlights and user-generated content, we kept their channels fresh, relevant, and aligned with their evolving promotions calendar.

• Email Marketing
  We introduced a stylish and strategic email marketing plan, sending out regular newsletters to The Manor’s growing database. These campaigns promoted seasonal menus, live music lineups, themed brunches, and exclusive offers, helping to build loyalty and keep customers coming back for more.

The Outcome

The transformation has been significant across all areas of The Manor’s digital presence:

• Enhanced User Experience: The new website offers a seamless, intuitive customer journey, resulting in increased online bookings and greater time spent on-site.

• Increased Visibility: With stronger SEO and high performing Google and Meta Ads, The Manor now ranks more competitively and reaches a wider audience across search and social.

• Stronger Branding: The refreshed visual identity and consistent digital storytelling now reflect the premium quality of the venue, making a great first impression for new and returning guests alike.

• Higher Engagement & Bookings: With regular email campaigns, curated social content, and clear promotional messaging, The Manor has seen a marked uplift in event enquiries, bookings, and brand engagement.

The Manor is not just known for its unforgettable in-person experiences, it also stands out as a digitally savvy hospitality destination, continuing to grow in reputation and revenue within the region.
