How we work: Create > Engage > Convert
Skip the first and the idea is a guess. Skip the last and nobody can say what it was worth. Pick a campaign to see how each question played out.
What is really going on?
We dig into data, audience psychology and the market until we find the thing people half-believe that nobody has said out loud.
Mr Porky: the insight
Everyone has heard that pork scratchings make beer taste better. Nobody had proved it. Our research found 76% of the nation believed it.
Why would anyone care?
We turn that insight into an idea people stop for, then put it where they already spend their time, from the news to their feeds.
Mr Porky: the idea
Prove the pub wisdom during the World Cup, with a real taste test, a food and beer scientist and 14 radio interviews in a single day.
Did it move the number?
We agree the measure before we start, whether that is sales, sign-ups or fewer blockages, then report honestly against it.
Mr Porky: the result
202
pieces of coverage, 15 of them on broadcast, plus 562 brand mentions.
We mine the audience insight that matters; using data, psychology and market intelligence to define the real challenge and fuel strategy.
We ignite attention with bold, creative activations that resonate emotionally and culturally, and drive action and engagement.
We track and optimise against the KPIs that count, turning engagement into measurable growth and commercial outcomes.

Brilliant webinar on Social Trends. Definitely be keeping an eye on future events!
The content and knowledge shared by Prohibition were great. With LinkedIn at the forefront of social media right now, it's never been more important to develop your personal brand. I thoroughly enjoyed this webinar and have recommended it to others, as a must-do.
Superb free webinars and comms advice. Great after-service too. Highly recommend!
Really great webinars for Social Media professionals. Excellent knowledge from presenters with an answer to every question. Really professionally presented too.
I would highly recommend Chris, Will and the team at Prohibition. A high degree of enthusiasm and passion for what they do combined with a professional and creative approach. They also run highly engaging breakfast seminars attended by like-minded existing and prospective clients which provide a great opportunity to learn more about what they do in a relaxed environment. I have recommended Prohibition to several contacts since.
Attended the Effective Content Marketing Hacks event with Chris Norton, it was extremely useful, a huge amount of info, advice and good practice examples, explained very clearly and quickly. Certainly one of the best events of this nature I’ve attended.
I enjoy the workshops put on by Prohibition PR. They're informative, relevant, (free!), succinct and help me to keep up to date with effective comms, reaching core audiences. Great expertise. Keep them up, thank you.
Generously sharing their in-depth knowledge. I have been to the last two of Chris' social media sessions and have found both very useful. Will most certainly consider approaching Prohibition when an opportunity becomes available to use their services. Highly recommended.
The Swizzels team attended an excellent talk by Chris Norton about the power of Live Video for social. As with previous talks the topic was very relevant and interesting. Chris had a lot of valuable insight to share. The session was well attended by a wide range of businesses. Thanks to Chris and the team.
I attended one of Prohibition PR's many breakfast seminar and would 100% recommend them. Chris was extremely knowledgeable about content marketing, sharing tons of tips and backing them up with real-life case studies, and the rest of the team were incredibly friendly.
Chris is a fantastic speaker and very knowledgeable; I go away feeling very motivated and wanting to try out some of the things he's suggested. I always enjoy the events and look forward to the next one!
Thank you to Chris Norton & Prohibition PR for yesterday's marketing seminar - Effective Content Marketing Hacks. It was very informative, insightful and detailed and delivered clearly. I particularly enjoyed the focus on content planning and I now have some practical tips and focus to take away with me for the marketing of my workplace (a legal firm). I would definitely recommend. Thank you for the brews and tasty pastries too!
Attended a free webinar on PR post COVID. Informative. Many thanks. Hopefully I can attend more webinar you have arranged.
Prohibition's online sessions have all been informative, relevant, and provided actionable tips to help me keep up to date with effective comms, sector best practices, and improving targeting/conversions (and all for free!) Thank you for putting them on and sharing your expertise.
Another insightful workshop led by Chris and Will, this time in webinar form. Down-to-earth, engaging and informative look into ROIs and strategy. These guys really know their stuff! Thank you.
I have attended a number of Chris' seminars and always leave with a great deal of insight. They demonstrate their knowledge and insight extremely well at each event.
I've regularly attended webinars delivered by Prohibition PR and been impressed by their insightful commentary on current situations.
Great and informative session as always from Chris n the team. Extremely helpful and some great insights.
I'm currently brushing up my Social Media skills and the webinars from Prohibition has so far been the best once I've seen by a mile. Very professional, giving great advice and suggesting some great resources that's out there to improve your social media ROI etc. I would highly recommend them.
I have just completed a webinar with Prohibition PR on ROI on Social Media and found it very insightful and beneficial to our business. Will and Chris went through everything thoroughly and were both very professional and helpful. Thank you so much for the session it was very enjoyable.
Excellent session on social media and how things have change due to Covid-19. Having used Prohibition on a few campaigns I can fully recommend them.
During my furlough time, I have been upskilling myself on marketing trends and insight across the industry. I have watched webinars from several different agencies, and the ones from Prohibition PR have far and away been the best. Well researched, insightful and really helpful. Thanks Chris and Will!
Very insightful team that are clearly extremely passionate and knowledgeable on their field. Lots of really useful insights gained from seminars especially. Would certainly recommend Chris and the team. Thanks!
Great team of people. I've only ever been on the receiving end of their knowledge and experience when joining free presentations and webinars. If you're a businesses in need of marketing support I'm sure these guys can assist.
This is the second Prohibition event I have attended. Always really useful information, Chris and his team are straight to the point and deliver their information in a way which is easy to process - no faffing around. The presentations are engaging, too. Looking forward to attending a few more. Thanks Chris & Prohibition.
Prohibition's events are always packed full of interesting insights, valuable information and plenty of food for thought. I have been to both their in-person events and their webinars and get so much out of them. They're incredibly knowledgeable professionals and I can't recommend their sessions enough.
