North Brewing Co grows online with Zeal

North Brewing Co has teamed up with digital agency Zeal to grow its online sales. The Leeds-based brewer operates 10 bars across Yorkshire, Birmingham and Manchester.

The Yorkshire brewer produces 20,000 hectolitres, which are sold in its venues, off-trade and internationally. Zeal has a wide-ranging brief to support online sales, increase subscriptions and target the fast-growing office market.

Commenting on the campaign, John Gyngell, director and co-founder of North Brewing Co, said: “We see huge potential for online sales growth and have found a great partner in Zeal to help us. We are an innovative business with rapid product development. In Zeal, we have a team that shares our passion for fast-moving retail and a flexible approach to achieving the best outcome.”

The business has huge growth potential, and we have put in place a strategy to rapidly expand the amount of business it does online. There is also a big opportunity to build an online community around this much-loved brand.”
