John Lewis x Buttercrumble: Easter Egg Illustration
Last weekend, we had the pleasure of visiting John Lewis in Cheadle for their Easter activities. There we illustrated bespoke surprise eggs for customers, young and old. What was the surprise? Each egg, when opened, revealed a message of positivity. We love to spread a little joy through our work.
Live Illustration at The Lord Mayor's Charity Shopping Event
Browns teamed up with York's Lord Mayor & Civic Party to host an exclusive evening of shopping, pampering and socialising in aid of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, Keep Your Pet and the Refugee Action York Charity.
We were thrilled to be invited to spend an evening browsing the latest SS18 fashion collections, see beauty demonstrations and, of course, illustrate lovely customers. We attended the event to gift guests with their own bespoke portraits and enhance their experience of the evening.
Buttercrumble Illustrates at Women in Sport Conference North
We were delighted to be invited to the fourth Women in Sport Conference North, which took place on the 16th March at BBC MediaCityUK in Salford. It was an amazing celebration for women in the sporting industry and we felt empowered listening to their stories.
What's in a Name? How to Name your New Business
When we first started out, we found it embarrassing to share our business' name. Can you believe it? Hindsight is a beautiful thing and we now realise that its seemingly random nature is great for making it memorable. As well as being sweet, it's sticky too. For a business name to be successful, it needs to stick in your audience's mind. If your customers can't remember what you're called, how do you expect them to call you?
Buttercrumble Wins Micro Business of the Year 2018
At the 2018 FSB Awards for Yorkshire & Humberside, we were thrilled to take home a trophy for the region's Micro Business of the Year. As a micro business, we appreciate the trials and tribulations that come with running one! It is these challenges that make receiving support and recognition from our peers so special.
Use Personality to Delight Your Customers
Is your business playful or serious? Cutting-edge or traditional? If you've not considered its personality, then you could be sending out mixed-messages!
Personality makes a company feel more human. By personifying your business, decision-making becomes natural. You know in your heart what will be "on-brand".
Over two days, Buttercrumble’s founders, Chloe and Abigail, created more than 100 individual, bespoke hand-drawn portraits – a real novelty in our world full of algorithms, AI and automation.
