We’re the digital social butterflies…
Howdy. I’m Dulcie, founder & digital strategist at Chuffed… and I’m chuffed that you’re here!
I’ve spent over 100 weekends of my life at festivals, and been working at them since they would let me.
I cut my teeth in the Bulgarian wilderness as a marketing assistant at Meadows in the Mountains, had stints at marketing festivals in India and then spent 5 years as the Digital Comms Manager at Boomtown. In between all of that I did a heap of other production, artist liaison and face painting jobs in fields and I even run one of the world’s biggest festival blogs; That Festival Life.
Now my team and I use passion inspired by transformational experiences on the dance floor to provide creative marketing services for, not just festivals, but communities, spaces, brands and more.
OUR VALUES
We’re here for more than a business arrangement – we wanna be your pal too! How you spend your days, is how you spend your life… so why waste any time working with people you can’t have a laugh with?
We prefer a BS-free approach to marketing. We’ll be honest if we’re a good fit for you and if we truly believe we can do good work together. And if we do work together we’ll keep on being honest… occasionally very honest (but in a helpful way, we promise).
We expect the same from our clients. We like authentic people who want to do cool stuff and bring people together, which leads us to…
Look, we’re keeners. You don’t get into the digital marketing game without being at least a bit of a nerd and we’re here for it. Enthusiasm isn’t a dirty word around here, in fact, it’s a prerequisite. We geek out on the latest social media movements and industry goss and we get deep and strategic with our clients.
Yeah, internet friends are GREAT but have you ever put the world to rights with a randomer in the queue for a portaloo? Or had a dance battle in the middle of the crowd with a complete
stranger? It’s something special, right?! The power of togetherness and the strength of community is what we aim to harness in your marketing and communications.
The all year round Chuffed team is made up of four women, spanning decades and life experiences – so we come with a mix of different perspectives to bring to each campaign!
We are also SO lucky to have a huge network of different creative pals…
So whether we need to collaborate with a partner agency on ad campaigns or get someone in to get that creative poppin’ we’ve always got a relevant recommendation on hand.
BIG UP
OUR TEAM
We could jam if…
- You’re passionate about what you’re doing & your project is fuelled by people who want to bring people together and do something impactful.
- You know where you’re going… but you know you can’t do everything. Let us take something off your plate!
- You know who your community are but you are struggling to connect with them in the digital realm.
- You can’t keep up with socials – in a world of changing algorithms, aspect ratios and platforms, you want to fast track your way to the cutting edge.
WHAT MAKES US CHUFFED TO BITS…
Independence; we love those brave enough to go it alone and believe that true festival spirit lies in independence.
Collaboration over competition; There’s room enough for everyone, let’s work together!
Authenticity; We smell greenwashing a mile off. Be yourself – no one else is gonna!
Yes, we luv festivals 4eva, but anyone who wants to spread a message or bring people together is a bit of us…
One of our ongoing clients are an award winning bar and roof terrace in Leeds who we launched last year. We helped them to nail down their values & purpose and from that we continue to cultivate an ever growing community by translating the vibe of the space into creative online content.

WHY US?
WE CULTIVATE YOUR COMMUNITY
Our signature thing is gathering, growing and giving a voice to YOUR community which is accessible 365 days a year, 24 hours a day via digital marketing. Let’s ditch the 2D outlook of numbers and KPIs and focus on connecting with your PEOPLE. They’re the driving force behind your brand.
WE’RE FESTIVAL NATIVES
We live and breathe this industry. From managing budgets for complex on site media teams and producing live content over festival weekends, to working in-house and selling out 70,000 capacity shows – we’ve seen most angles of this role!
What’s kept us in this space for this long is the knowledge of how mighty a group of people standing in mud can really be. Our in-depth understanding of the eco-system of events, from operations to commercial, means we can fill in the gaps and cut out the middle man so less explaining and more communicating.
WE’RE AHEAD OF THE CURVE
We’ve never been one for following the crowd (unless it’s to the Sunday legend spot at Glastonbury) and our approach to marketing is the same. We actively go against the grain, think outside the box and stay one step ahead. We bring a strategy that hits the spot and our imaginative creativity is the icing on the cake *chefs kiss*.
WE’RE NIMBLE AF
Basically, we’re on it. We’re particularly good at coming up with nifty ways to create the biggest impact on a budget and a tight timeline. For an industry that inevitably changes directions at the drop of a hat, you need a marketing team that can handle the heat. From strategy switch-ups to urgent safety announcements, we’ve got your back.
