How D&G Turned a Fish & Chip Van Into a Podcast Brand
The Situation
Fish Heads is a fish & chip van with a loyal local following and plenty of personality — the kind of brand people already talk about. What they didn’t have was a way to take that voice beyond the serving hatch.
They had the idea for a podcast, Chip Chat, but running a food business leaves no time or resource to actually produce one. Recording, editing, sound, publishing, none of it was going to happen between services. They came to D&G to take the whole thing off their hands and turn the idea into a show that actually ships.
The Challenge
- A strong brand and a great idea, but no way to produce a podcast to a publishable standard
- Running a working food van leaves zero time for recording and editing
- No in-house audio, editing or post-production capability
- Risk of the show launching once and then quietly dying — the fate of most podcasts
- A personality-led brand with no platform to grow an audience off the back of it
Our Approach
D&G runs Chip Chat end-to-end. Fish Heads turn up and talk; we handle everything that turns that into a finished show.
- Format & Setup Shaping the episode structure and run sheet so Chip Chat has a consistent feel, and setting up a recording process that works around a van schedule, not against it.
- Recording Capturing clean, broadcast-standard audio and video every session, with none of the technical guesswork falling on the client.
- Editing & Post-Production Full edit, sound enhancement, intros and outros, and publishing-ready files, a professional finish on every episode without Fish Heads touching a timeline.
- Publishing Delivering finished, scheduled episodes ready to go live across Spotify & YouTube,
- Repurposing Cutting episodes into short clips for social, extending the reach of every recording well beyond the people who listen end-to-end.
The Outcome
Fish heads now has a fully set up & sustainable marketing device through the podcast, which stretches the reach of the brand through the guests, which brings in more bookings.
Key Impact
- A working fish & chip van now has a professionally produced podcast brand
- Full production lifecycle owned end-to-end by D&G, zero burden on the client
- A repeatable show engine and a platform to grow the Fish Heads name beyond the van
