Who is Cru?
Founded by Colleen Monaghan and Emma Hawley, bringing over 20 years of PR & marketing experience to the heart of the UK's hospitality scene.
We have worked with everyone from the UK's most reputable hotel and restaurant groups to boutique drinks brands, names that define their neighbourhoods. This hands-on experience has shaped our approach to communications, from media relations and brand partnerships to social, local marketing, and crisis comms.
Cru is built to support your business and your community in a way that works for you. Our senior-level team runs on sharp instincts, real relationships, and a genuine love for what we do. We are empowered to deliver bold, creative work grounded in smart strategy, building lasting partnerships with the people and places we represent.
Being based in Soho, we find that London's dynamic dining and retail scene is our office as much as our inspiration. It keeps us immersed in the latest trends and tuned into the shifts in both press and consumer behaviour that affect how people shop, eat, and explore.
We are always ready for the next challenge, whether it's elevating a neighbourhood destination or launching a new concept. Pop in for a drink and a no-pressure chat, or get in touch and we'll come to you.
