Bearhat Marketing Named #SBS Winner by Theo Paphitis

I'm thrilled to share that Bearhat Marketing has been chosen as one of the six weekly winners of Small Business Sunday (#SBS) - Theo Paphitis’s initiative spotlighting UK small businesses .

What is #SBS?

Every Sunday evening, small businesses post their elevator pitch on social channels using #SBS, tagging Theo Paphitis. By Monday at 8pm, six winners are handpicked and receive a momentous social media boost - reaching hundreds of thousands of followers across LinkedIn, X, and Instagram .

Why this matters

• Huge visibility uplift: Theo’s network spans over 300k followers on LinkedIn and nearly half a million on X  . For Bearhat, that means fresh eyes on our brand and services.

• Instant credibility: Being an official #SBS winner signals trust, quality, and entrepreneurial drive.

• Ongoing support: Winners join an exclusive network, gain access to #SBS events, and connect with other inspiring small businesses .

The Bearhat pitch

In our entry, I said:

“I started Bearhat Marketing because too many brilliant small businesses were stuck in marketing limbo. Doing something, but not seeing results.” 

That’s the core of Bearhat - helping SMEs grow without them having to keep guessing and hoping something will work. Or how I like to put it - throwing mud at a wall and hoping it sticks. Some might, but most of it is going on the floor.

What’s next for Bearhat?

• We're going to embrace every new contact and connection this visibility brings.

• Continue building the #SBS community alongside other winners.

• Double down on delivering value for SMEs and start-ups who need marketing direction but not the agency overhead.

Here’s to a busy, bold quarter ahead!

Finally, a big shout-out to Theo Paphitis and the #SBS team. And a heartfelt thanks to everyone who sent messages of congratulations - your support means the world.
