Beer, dancing and digital PR experts that know how to carve up a celebration to remember
WHEN a local care home wants to give its residents the ultimate Oktoberfest experience, digital PR experts at Holyrood PR get to work.
Cramond Residence, to the north of the city, was hosting three days of Oktoberfest celebrations and the team at Holyrood PR took it that step further by pairing up with a local brewery, Pilot.
We reached out to the Leith-based brewery and coordinated with them to deliver a selection of beers to the home free of charge.
Residents got to try a rich variety of different beer profiles such as BLØND
Session IPA, Leith Lager and Vienna Pale on top of getting a lesson on the history of the festival and themed arts and crafts.
Pilot shared the concept on their Facebook and generated an abundance of heart-warming, positive likes, comments and shares. This was further amplified by Cramond Residence sharing the content.
The results from Cramond Residence and Pilot social media include:
- 81 likes
- 13 comments
- 12 shares
Some of the comments include:
“This is brilliant. Great from Pilot, greater from a care home. Much respect.”
“I bloody love this!”
“Excellent work guys”
“Amazing! Going to get me nana to try a pilot!”

The news was further shared across online and social media publications creating the following results:
- 10 Items of coverage across online and social media
- 85,632 Opportunities to see
- Features in The Carer, The Edinburgh Reporter and Deadline News
The partnership with Pilot was an innovative way to provide an all-rounded experience to residents whilst further amplifying the home and brewery’s name with a local audience.
Our PR team saw an opportunity to not only provide valuable support for a local business, but to also maximise the digital reach of the Oktoberfest through sharing the news far and wide on social channels.
The Cramond x Pilot collaboration proved to be the perfect example of how a traditional PR strategy can link into a digital campaign to maximise results.
The outcome of these efforts raised even more awareness for both Cramond Residence and Pilot while encouraging two-way communication between the brands and their online audience.
It puts Cramond Residence in front of a key audience who might be looking for a care home for themselves or a family member or friend and at the forefront of its own sector.
The campaign also highlighted the personal care and tailored activity programme that the home prides itself on.
