Introducing Hill Street Hatch
On a cobbled street in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter - you’ll find Hill Street Hatch, a pop-up space from the team behind New York City and now also Belfast-based agency, Crown Creative.
The opening of the space comes following our return from New York City where we worked in the hospitality sector for the past five years. Ryan founded Crown Creative, a bespoke creative agency that has worked with some of the best hospitality companies in both Northern Ireland and New York including Marriot Hotels, The Dead Rabbit, and Zac’s Bakehouse and Established Coffee locally. Meanwhile, Ema has established a career working with Brooklyn Gin as its marketing Director.
Our dream is that Hill Street Hatch would enable and support hospitality entrepreneurs by offering a space, community and opportunity to test ideas and to have early-days face-to-face interactions with customers which is a quintessential element of the hospitality sector.
The hospitality industry has been devastated by the ongoing pandemic but we believe current circumstances should not stifle the long-term creativity of vibrant and homegrown entrepreneurs. The space, coupled with our expertise in working with local and international brands, will provide 360 concept development services for food and drink start-ups looking to launch new ideas within a safe support system.
At our core, we believe everyone with an idea deserves the chance to explore it. So we remove traditional barriers to entrepreneurship like exorbitant rent, overheads, and pressure - and we replace them with resources and creative solutions. Our team is always on-hand whether you need a hand with fleshing out a concept, brand strategy, web design, social media, and so much more.
