We’ve been a little quiet over here… and for very good reason 🤍🩵💙

At the tail end of last year, Thistle & Bug Creative took on its most important new role.

The past few months have been beautifully full (and occasionally sleep deprived), but creativity doesn’t switch off. If anything, it sharpens. Perspective shifts. Priorities align. Time becomes purposeful.

And now? We’re back.

Refreshed. Focused. And with rare capacity to take on a couple of new clients.

If you’re a brand looking for thoughtful strategy, elevated content and marketing that actually feels like you — we’d love to talk.

Limited space. Big ideas.

The proof is in the pumpkin 🎃

In just one month, we achieved a 475.5% increase in accounts reached and 64% engagement from non-followers — driving visibility, excitement, and ultimately, a sell-out seasonal event for our client. 🎃

Reaching new audiences and nurturing non-follower engagement is what turns awareness into attendance. It’s the quiet groundwork — steady posts, community connection, and consistent storytelling — that ensures the big moments land exactly as they should.

Because when the pumpkins (or tickets, or tables) are gone… that’s when you know the strategy worked. ✨

Lower Trewern Farm 🎃 🐮 🦃

Nestled in the rolling Cornish countryside, is a family-run haven that celebrates the best of rural life — from peaceful pastureland to their much-loved Pumpkin Patch - a sell out this year.

We work with the team on a project basis, gently keeping their Facebook and Instagram ticking over throughout the seasons so that when autumn arrives, their community is already primed and ready to pick those pumpkins!

A perfect example of small, steady storytelling that grows big results. 🍂

They are currently taking orders for the most delicious, hand reared Christmas turkeys… 🦃 🎄

🍕 Client Success Slice 🍕

When a local pizza spot racks up 25.1k continuous views over 6 months and sees a 250% jump in business address taps… that’s what we call hot out of the oven 🔥

For a small but mighty business like .newlyn this means more eyes, more interest, and most importantly — more people finding their way to the promenade for a slice.

Proof that strategy + creativity = delicious results. ✨

✨ Website Launch ✨

We’re so excited to share that the brand new website is now live! 🎉

From concept to click, we’ve loved bringing this one to life – a digital space that reflects the beauty, character and magic of the barn itself.

Take a look around, dream up your event, and see just how special this venue really is 💫

LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS… 😍

In a short space of time, we have made a real difference to the audience of this client’s social media.

Not only that, but the increase of external link taps, can be credited with an increase of bookings - yes, we track the source of conversions to help validate the work we are doing.

It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of running a business and this week has been one of those...

Pausing to look back at what has been achieved is a powerful reminder of what we’re capable of. These results are a snapshot of just that — progress, perseverance, and a whole lot of graft behind the scenes. It couldn’t be done without full commitment from our wonderful clients ✨
