Zemplin Consulting

Look, we know it’s just oat milk. No need to be overly dramatic. But Oatly’s branding turns something as simple as oat-based milk into an exciting brand. What makes their branding so effective? 🌱 A Clear Mission: They don’t just talk about oat milk. They talk about sustainability, climate change, and shifting the food industry. 🎤 A Distinctive Voice: Oatly’s copy feels like a conversation with a slightly sarcastic, eco-conscious friend. Their packaging, billboards, and social media posts all have that same unmistakable tone—fun, bold, and sometimes a little rebellious. 🙃 Not Afraid to Be Controversial: From calling out the dairy industry to putting bizarre self-deprecating ads on their own packaging, Oatly takes risks. And guess what? People remember them for it. 📣 Cohesive & Consistent Storytelling: Their branding doesn’t change depending on the platform, it’s the same Oatly whether you’re holding the carton, scrolling Instagram, or reading their website. Incredible work by John Schoolcraft. There are tons of amazing interviews across the internet where he shares great advice and gives us a sneak peek into his workflow, I highly recommend!

Is Your Social Enterprise Playing It Too Safe? The best challenger brands, and the best social enterprises, aren’t afraid to stand out.

I wish there was an industry award for such bean-based passion Amelia Christie-Miller! If you want to make an impact, dare to be different.

This is what our agency would look like if it were a person (I'm pretty sure) 👑 ZEMPLIN is the only agency in the world that can bring your organisation experts that have worked on The King's Coronation, general election campaigns, with leading global companies and for international non-profits — at a genuinely competitive, affordable price.

Marketing & PR Consultants are stealing from the charity sector (coming from, you guessed it, an agency) There’s a lot of money in the charity sector - and agencies know it. Too many web developers, PR firms, and marketing agencies take advantage of nonprofits, charging premium prices because they know many charities don’t have the in-house expertise to push back. They sell flashy strategies, overcomplicated campaigns, and expensive retainers that don’t always deliver real impact. At Zemplin, we believe your budget should serve your cause, not line the pockets of overpriced consultants. That’s why we offer straightforward, effective, implementable comms, marketing, and PR strategies without the ridiculous price tag. We do this because we care. Because charities deserve better. And because your resources should go where they matter most. 💛 Zemplin. Be Heard.

As marketers, we know that storytelling isn’t just a tool, it’s THE tool. And we think ours is worth telling. ZEMPLIN was founded in May 2023 by Pete Gaffney, fresh off leading The Big Help Out, the official volunteering campaign for The King’s Coronation. That campaign mobilised over 7 million people to give back, and in the process, Pete saw firsthand what too many charities and small businesses already knew: 💡 There’s a serious lack of affordable, dedicated marketing support for those doing the most meaningful work. Too often, small businesses and non-profits end up paying enterprise prices just to be an agency’s lowest-priority client. Pete had seen enough. It was time to change the game. That’s why ZEMPLIN exists. To give charities and small businesses the expert marketing, PR and communications support they deserve, at a price that actually works for them. We help good people do great things without breaking the bank.
