What inspired the t-shirt sale?
In October we celebrated our first year of PR agency life and wanted to do something creative to mark the occasion. Across the Munch team we’ve worked at many different agencies, big and small, and over the past year we have blended our experience to make Munch what it is today – a creative boutique that thinks big. We decided to create a range of tongue-in-cheek charity t-shirts emblazoned with some of the UK’s most used agency jargon. As an imaginative team, we thought what better way to celebrate our agency’s first birthday than in a way that both pays homage to the funny language of our industry and gives back to the area we work in.

We love to work with big brands, start-ups and solopreneurs to achieve great things.

Hackney Giving addresses what matters most to the community, helping to support the borough from a grassroots level.
What do you think about companies’ social responsibility and impact?
If a business can support its local community, then it definitely should, whether that’s buying from local shops and suppliers, hiring within the community or supporting local events and charities. We can all do our part.
