About the pitch
A guide to nothing but the greatest little places in town, like your digital friend in the know.

To start this little revolution against mediocrity, we want to create the world’s most trusted social guide to charming venues, based on personal and local recommendations. When it comes to places: brimming with character, unforgettable and individual is the order of the day. It’s a shout out for the little guys; the labours of love, the places with some soul, be they bars, museums, restaurants, galleries or just somewhere to enjoy a nice walk.
It’ll also be, importantly, a chance for people to share their great little finds with others; a real community – people helping each other out. The crucial difference between our service and other sites is that the wisdom of the crowd will decide what stays and what goes. True quality, not quantity - only great little places will make it on.
So far we've brought together an online Facebook following of over 200,000 fans for different cities around the world to share their finest discoveries (with London's www.facebook.com/greatlittleplace being the biggest with 78,000 followers). We’ve currently got a bodged together little blog just for London, for now, which is our own labour of love. Having invested a fair chunk of our own money and endless hours, we now need to source the additional funds to finish off our website to get Great Little Place off the ground this summer. Our new website will:
- Show you, wherever you are in the world, nothing but the greatest little places to go to, based on personal recommendations from the people who know it best, the locals. No more dull days or nights out. Not on our watch.
- The design will be simple, intuitive and beautiful.
- There will be no rubbish banner advertising clogging up the page or your experience. Great design and usability's our number one priority.
Your assistance is ludicrously appreciated.

About Rich Brown and Rossa Shanks
Hello. We’re Rich and Rossa. Two mates with a shared passion for the more charming and quirky side of town. We think that by doing interesting things and going to interesting places, interesting things will happen to you. That’s why we started Great Little Place and that’s why we’ve got so much belief in it.
Our background is firmly in branding, marketing comms and social media, not tech per se. That’s why we’ve lined up some design and tech gurus who know their onions. Between us, we’ve worked at top London Ad agencies for over 10 years on some of the most famous global brands like Sony, Mercedes-Benz, Virgin Atlantic, PepsiCo and Lucozade. But now we’d like to grow our own little brand, designed around the socialisation of the web. Not forgetting to do the right thing by the great little places we support at the same time. That’s why we need your help (in return for some alluring reward incentives). Strength and honour, Rossa and Rich, the GLP Team.
Any questions whatsoever please do give us a shout at team@greatlittleplace.com
