Cashing in on Clooney’s visit is a triumph of food and drink PR for Edinburgh boutique hotel

GROUNDBREAKING go-to venue, Tigerlily, grabbed the attention of the media after it welcomed one of Hollywood’s most famous actors, George Clooney.

After arriving in the capital his team announced the star himself would be dining at the recently refurbished and upmarket George Street venue.

Lucky diners get the chance to rub shoulders with Clooney after management at Tigerlily refused to cancel bookings that clashed with his surprise appearance.

On top of which three local waitresses became the talk of the town as they had the honour of being up close and personal with the Hollywood superstar, ensuring his visit was one to remember.

The A-lister gave the thumbs up to his first taste of Scotland after he tucked into a Scottish-themed five course lunch with 25 specially selected guests.

Within just a matter of hours George Clooney became the real dish of the day at Tigerlily with coverage appearing on numerous sites including Marketing Edinburgh, Citylicious, The Edinburgh Reporter, FF Magazine, Deadline News and the BBC, which alone has a circulation of over a million.

Thanks to our PR expertise 15 significant items of print and online coverage were achieved for Tigerlily overnight with incredible national hits in the Metro, Daily Star, Daily Record, Daily Mail, The Sun and The Herald reaching more than 5 million people across the country.
