EVENTS & FESTIVALS

The UK’s premiere winter festival, Celtic Connectiions welcomes around 2,000 musicians taking part in 300 events showcasing an outstanding array of traditional folk, celtic, roots, Americana, jazz, soul and world music.

We have run the PR campaign and full-service press office function for the festival since 2018. This includes accrediting around 300 journalists, photographers and film crew. We also managed the promotion of Celtic Connections’ first ever digital edition for 2021.

We are proud to work with the prestigious Royal National Mòd on the PR campaign for the annual celebratory Gaelic music and cultural event. We generated more than 200 pieces of coverage across national and regional broadcast, online and print media titles for both the 2021 and 2022 editions and are now working on the 2023 event in Paisley.

Not just a music festival, Tiree Music Festival is a true island adventure and one of the most beautiful and remote festival locations in the world.

We’re lucky enough to have worked year-round on an integrated communications campaign for the festival since 2017.

Piping Live! is the world’s biggest piping festival. We have worked with The National Piping Centre on the PR campaign for the event since 2021, consistently securing international, national and regional coverage across online, print and broadcast media.

Much-loved Moray folk festival celebrated its 25th birthday in 2022. We worked as an extension of the Speyfest team to undertake a sustained PR, marketing and social media campaign, with the goal of promoting the festival’s return and the anniversary year and increasing awareness of the festival with a wider audience than ever before. We are now working to build on this audience development into 2023.

In November 2021, the UK hosted the 26^th United Nations Climate Change Conference – COP26 – in Glasgow. We worked with Glasgow City Council to promote the global event’s volunteer programme.

We also worked with multiple partners to project manage and draft updated COP26 content for the Get Ready Glasgow website, a Business Readiness Guide to help the city prepare for conference time and a Broadcast Guide for visiting media.

We worked with Glasgow Life on key message development and key PR moments including date announcement, full programme and ticket launch and event-time PR opportunities for Merchant City Festival in 2021 and 2022.

Renowned for hosting some of the biggest names in jazz, blues, soul, funk, R&B, electronic and world music, Glasgow Jazz Festival is a key event in Scotland’s cultural calendar. 

Running the PR campaign for the festival since 2017, we look after the festival’s press launch, previews and reviews.

We are working with internationally acclaimed Scottish festival, HebCelt, for the first time this year. Set on the Isle of Lewis, HebCelt welcomes tens of thousands of visitors each July. We’re overseeing strategic communications, PR, social media marketing and media accreditation.

SEALL brings world-class music to remote village halls around the Isles of Skye and Raasay to showcase the islands’ people and place. For 2020, for the first time ever, the event went online. We worked with SEALL on an effective social media campaign to grow their reach digitally, selling tickets to and engaging new audiences from around the world. We then ran the social campaign for the 2021 edition.

We were appointed to support Glasgow Life with PR and marketing around the UEFA EURO 2020 Fan Zone in Glasgow from May 2021 until the end of the tournament in July 2021. The campaign included promotion of the Fan Zone and its rich cultural programme, managing event communications, providing strategic oversight of operational messaging across numerous platforms, on-site comms support, managing media accreditation and crisis communications.
