Liverpool agency Poke Marketing wins three new clients across the hospitality, charity and placemaking sectors. Tony McDonough reports
Poke Marketing has started 2026 with a trio of new client wins.
Liverpool-based Poke has secured deals with restaurant operator P&D Group, Claire House Children’s Hospice and Port Sunlight Village Trust which oversees the Port Sunlight village in Wirral.
For P&D Group it will lead on “strategic positioning” across its growing portfolio of venues, including Botanico in the city centre (formerly Il Forno), Panoramic, and the Italian Quarter.
Working closely with owners The Cillo Family, Poke is shaping how the group brings an authentic “Italian experience” to life across all venues.
Poke Marketing is also working with Claire House to support its plans to build a second hospice at its site in West Derby Liverpool. The agency will be developing the messaging and campaign strategy around this major milestone for the charity.
Poke was selected for the project thanks to its previous work with organisations such as Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Knowsley Safari Park and Liverpool Cathedral.
For Port Sunlight Village Trust Poke will deliver a full brand review and refresh. It will develop a new brand that does justice to Port Sunlight’s heritage, community and sense of place, while supporting its future ambitions as a visitor destination.

“With momentum already building, Poke Marketing looks set for another
standout year, partnering with ambitious organisations across Liverpool City Region and beyond”.
