Founded by Simon Whitaker in 2016, Master Debonair has built a strong reputation in the menswear sector with a focus on intricate detailing, exceptional customer service and sophisticated styling. In 2023 they opened their first store in York, UK.
“I fell in love with York after taking part in York Fashion Week. And after a few years working with Nicky Hayer, I made the decision to bring Master Debonair to York city centre. I asked Nicky to support us with this launch which included PR and support with an in-store launch event.”
- Simon Whitaker, Owner of Master Debonair
After an intense consultancy session that reviewed both long term and short term strategy, press releases around Master Debonair were distributed both locally and nationally. The message was pushed out that Master Debonair had landed in York.
NIMA then worked collaboratively with the MD team to plan a guestlist and an impactful in-store launch night which welcomed in local journalists, influencers, business people and members of the local community.
