The UK Paid Media Awards, run by Don’t Panic Events and accredited ‘Outstanding’ by the Independent Awards Standards Council – Awards Trust Mark, recognise campaigns across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland that deliver clear commercial results from paid media investment. Founded in York in 2018, The Cut & Craft has grown into a three-site independent steak restaurant group, known for pairing premium steakhouse dining with a modern, design-led environment. LOCALiQ was briefed to support both day-to-day trading and expansion into new locations, including the brand’s 2025 opening in Manchester. LOCALiQ UK Managing Director Nick Ashwood said: “We’re incredibly proud to have our work with The Cut & Craft recognised with the Hospitality Campaign of the Year award. "This win shows what’s possible when a great hospitality brand is supported by a data-led, integrated approach across search and paid media."
