PRmoment Awards 🏆🏆
It was double trouble in Manchester as Eilidh and Kelan made a flying visit to Manchester last week, where they picked up not one but two @prmoment_ awards for our work on @themacleanbrothers Pacific Row which raised £1M for charity.
🏆Media Relations Campaign of the Year
🏆Integrated Campaign of the Year
This is a massive moment for us and we’re ever so proud of winning these awards for a campaign that took tremendous effort (not quite as much as rowing 9,000 miles across an ocean, but a tremendous effort nonetheless).
The gongs are fantastic and a testament to the whole team. What hits most, however, is the fact that the work has helped to create real impact, bringing safe, clean water for life to 40,000 people living in Madagascar.
Thanks to those marvellous Maclean brothers for trusting us to tell their story, and to everyone who helped with the campaign along the way.
@fkjkuk , @lostclock , @gbm.visuals , @lorrainekellysmith , @markwahlberg , @allymccoist9 , @samheughan , @flea333 , Ewan McGregor and many more!
Rooftop season has officially arrived!
@sisi.glasgow reopened their rooftop terrace and luckily for us, it just so happens to be in the same building as our office at @thesocialhub.glasgow .
We’ve loved helping share the story of one of the best spots in the city to spend a sunny evening.
✏️ Read all about it in @glasgowlive .
According to City AM, Harry Styles would feel right at home at @thesocialhub.rome .
“The bar is buzzing as creatives tap away on laptops; a packed programme of events and workshops keeps the energy going into the evening. It attracts the same crowd Styles moves among: unpretentious, international and creatively expressive.”
Time to launch a Watermelon Sugar cocktail?

Edinburgh is getting a taste of Glasgow tonight!
Head down to @nauticusbar in Leith for a one-night-only event, in partnership with @sebbs_official and @glasgowdistillery .

A Monday night doesn’t get better than that.
A hackathon in action 🚀
We’ve been working with Filament as they brought together pupils from Govan High, St Mungo’s Academy, Kelvinside Academy and St Thomas Aquinas for a high-energy sprint designed to spark the next generation of tech entrepreneurs.
Swipe through to see a bright bunch of future founders.
Then head to @stvnews to read more.
Raw milk is having a moment 🥛
We’ve been working with @mossgiel.farm to tell the story behind a growing shift: younger consumers looking for minimally processed milk, and how an Ayrshire farm is stepping up to meet that demand.
The launch in London has been an absolute smash, and we’ll raise a pint of the white stuff to that.
Starting something new is always a leap but when it’s @mercy_abel behind it, you just know it’s going to be something special.
She’s launching @itiswhoyouknow , a future workforce consultancy helping people take their first (or next) step in their careers.
We’re proud to be part of the line-up for THE SHIFT MATTERS: The Who You Know launch party, joining a brilliant group of speakers for a fireside chat on career shifts, before things roll into a house party at The Social Hub.

Team away day photo drump 👉
Every so often, we step away from our desks to properly catch up as a team and enjoy being together outside the office. There’s usually merch and there’s always very good food.
This year, after some yoga and visualisation @thekalicollective we went back to the Social Hub to map out the next 12 months at The Shop, then, after a @kafcoffee lunch it was off to @oxandfinch where we heard from Craig Nelson about what it takes to provide Michelin quality service, enjoyed stand up from one of Glasgow’s funniest people, Marie (of Old Ones Are The Best fame) and enjoyed a 10/10 meal at the fabulous Ox and Finch.
