2025 has been a busy and rewarding year at Graphitas, filled with exciting projects, community events and memorable team moments. As we look back, we wanted to share some of the standout highlights that have shaped our year and showcase what’s been happening behind the scenes.
January
Kicking Off 2025 with the Discover Lowestoft Website Launch
We began the year in style with the official launch of the Discover Lowestoft website. The launch event took place at the Richardson’s Family Entertainment Centre and was organised by Lowestoft Vision to showcase the new website to local businesses. The launch was followed by a bit of friendly competition on the bowling lanes to round off the event.
This project marked a strong start to the year and set the tone for the work that followed.
February
February Fun at the Lowestoft Pancake Race
February brought some light-hearted fun as our team took part in the annual Lowestoft Pancake Race. We didn’t take home the trophy but we absolutely took home the laughter. It was a great way to get involved with the community and enjoy some healthy competition, before finishing the event with a well-earned stop at Brew & Bites Café for hot drinks and some delicious sausage rolls.
March
Supporting Sustainability With Pure DC
In March we joined our customer Pure DC to support their tree planting initiative as part of the Tiny Forest project, delivered in partnership with Earthwatch and Barnet Council.
It was a genuinely rewarding day, working together outdoors and contributing to meaningful local environmental action. The new Tiny Forests in Finchley will now act as living laboratories, helping to improve soil health, boost biodiversity and support long term tree growth for years to come.
June
ITV Showcase 2025
We attended the ITV Showcase in Manchester, getting a first look at upcoming content and advertising opportunities. It was a really useful chance to catch up with peers, pick up inspiration from what’s coming to screen and take a moment to think about how strong creative ideas work across different platforms. Days like this are a good reminder of the impact of clear storytelling and high production quality and how those principles continue to influence the work we do for our clients.
July
Celebrating 50 Years of Access Community Trust
In July, Graphitas were invited to attend a special gala event celebrating Access Community Trust and their 50 years of supporting people facing homelessness and mental health challenges across Lowestoft, Suffolk and Norfolk. We were joined by Lowestoft Vision and the Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, coming together to recognise the charity’s incredible impact and ongoing work within the community.
The evening also helped raise an impressive £14,500 towards Access Community Trust’s £50,000 Project 50 fundraising goal, supporting their continued mission to make a positive difference locally.
Sharing Insights With Agency Leaders
As part of our continued focus on growth and best practice, Justin was invited to join a group of agency leaders for an industry lunch at the Groucho Club in July, following Agency Works’ A-Game sessions. Hosted by Jason Neale, Managing Director and Co founder of Agency Works, alongside Peter Czapp, business benchmarking expert, the afternoon brought together agency founders and senior leaders to openly discuss the challenges facing agencies today and share insights on performance, leadership and sustainable growth.
Suffolk Chamber Rooftop Garden Party
July also took us to the Suffolk Chamber Rooftop Garden Party, where we connected with local businesses under the summer sun. Events like this are a great reminder of how important strong local partnerships are to the work we do.
Clacton Coastal Tourism Group Website Launch
Later that month, we headed south to celebrate the launch of a new tourism-focused website, designed and developed from scratch for the Clacton Coastal Tourism Group (CCTG). The platform was created to raise the profile of the town’s attractions, natural environment and heritage. The evening finished with a firework display, providing the perfect backdrop to mark a successful and exciting project going live.
October
Team Cruise Working Retreat
In October we swapped our desks for a work retreat on the water. The weekend gave time away from the office to focus on some internal projects and an upcoming branding refresh. The retreat gave us the perfect chance to reflect on the year so far – with the odd drink enjoyed along the way. Our cruise included stops in Le Havre, where we explored a variety of museums and churches, including the impressive Notre Dame Cathedral and the striking Marie du Havre. We also travelled to Cherbourg to visit the Thomas Henry Museum, taking in its rich collection of art and cultural history. It was a memorable break from the office, very productive and a great way to celebrate the hard work that goes into delivering our client projects.
December
A Festive Invitation to the Marina Theatre
In December we were delighted to be invited to the opening night of the Marina Theatre’s pantomime as VIP guests. It was a fantastic festive evening and a great opportunity to support a much-loved local venue while enjoying a brilliant performance. Celebrating creativity, community and local culture felt like the perfect way to bring the year to a close.
Finishing the Year With Festive Cheer
We wrapped up 2025 with our Christmas Party at Revolution de Cuba in Norwich before heading on to a few other bars. The evening was filled with laughter, good food and great company, making it the perfect close to a memorable year.
Looking Ahead to 2026
2025 was a year full of creativity, collaboration and community. We’re incredibly proud of the work we’ve delivered and the relationships we’ve strengthened along the way.
As we head into 2026, we’re excited for new projects, new partnerships and new opportunities to help businesses grow through thoughtful, impactful digital marketing.
