August was an exciting month for us… celebrating the end of summer with our annual day out, launching our internship opportunity with the Drink Trust’s Drinks Community and going nuts over SheepDog’s new peanut butter whiskey.
Every year we like to get out and celebrate all of the team’s hard work, whilst also enjoying each other’s company outside of a work setting. Our adventure this year began with a delicious breakfast at our new team favourite ‘Eggbreak’ - whether you fancy some fantastically cooked eggs, or a huge stack of pancakes, this is the place! After a hearty breakfast, we headed out around West London for a fantastic day of solving clues and crimes in an interactive murder mystery game. Of course, we had a few cocktail stops on the way… Once we’d pinned the criminal, we headed over to Windsor to explore the new Soho House pop up - Summer River House. Amidst the picturesque setting the team sipped on Soho House’s signature rosé, toasting to all the achievements 2021 has seen for Domino so far, and all of those still to come… That said, let’s take a look at some of the exciting things September is set to bring.
As you may have read recently on our various social channels, Domino has paired with The Drinks Trust to offer a fantastic opportunity for an individual to kickstart a career in drinks PR supported by joint funding.
The paid internship is a great opportunity for someone whose career in the drinks industry has been affected by the pandemic, as it offers a chance to get some experience on the other side of the bar. Ross Carter, CEO of The Drinks Trust said: “As we have all seen during the reopening of the industry, there is a real staff and skills shortage out there at the moment, and initiatives like this will be instrumental in turning that around.” We’ve had an incredible response so far, and can’t wait to introduce a new member to our team. For more details on this fantastic opportunity, and how to apply, read here.
Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey was an August highlight. What’s The Best described Sheep Dog as “totally unique”, and we couldn’t agree more. This nutty delight took the UK by storm indeed. The team were delighted to secure 33 pieces of coverage over the course of the campaign, but this wouldn’t be possible without such a delicious product to pitch! Luxe Bible put it best “Why haven’t we tried such a delight before? This whiskey is just incredible.” Although our campaign is over, Sheep Dog is in the UK to stay - so grab a bottle here to see what all the fuss is about.
To finish on a high, Crystal Head Vodka received a great accolade from British GQ reviewed as being the ‘best for a clear head’ in their ‘Best vodkas for a Martini’ (shaken not stirred)... Take GQ’s advice this weekend, and pour yourselves a Crystal Head Martini - check out their recipe here… Cheers!
