What Nineteen Agency does

Nineteen Agency is a boutique lifestyle, leisure, and hospitality marketing and PR agency headquartered in Liverpool, United Kingdom, founded in 2019 by Anna Vieira and Louise Kemp. The founders spent over 12 years heading Sales and Marketing at Living Ventures Restaurants, where they helped build major UK brands including Gusto, The Alchemist, Blackhouse, Australasia, and Grand Pacific. The agency delivers integrated marketing strategy, brand development, content creation, social media management, influencer marketing, PR, digital/CRM/data services, events and activations, and business development coaching to hospitality and adjacent vertical clients ranging from independent operators to national brands.

The company operates without proprietary technology platforms, relying on standard industry tools including Google Analytics for performance monitoring, hospitality-based CRM systems for client data, and social media management platforms. Revenue is generated through professional services delivered on a project-based or retainer model with quote-based pricing tailored to client needs. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and referral-driven, leveraging founder networks and industry reputation from the Living Ventures era.

The client base spans hospitality (Gaucho, Fazenda, Gino D'Acampo Hotels & Leisure, Hotel Football, Red Door, Pizza Punks), property, beauty, retail (Southport Market), and charitable sector clients. In 2025, the company expanded internationally via Nineteen APAC Pte Ltd, a wholly-owned Singapore-registered subsidiary that organized Fire Safety Event Asia 2025. The agency remains founder-controlled with no institutional ownership, a small core team supplemented by a freelancer network, and minimal external capital beyond a single $28,868 funding round from River Capital in September 2022.
