Assisting Paisley in their bid to become the UK City of Culture 2021.

Le dossier

We joined the Paisley team to raise national and international awareness for the destination, as well as positioning it as a key contender for the title of UK City of Culture 2021.

Our work resulted in a hugely successful bid and multiple award wins.

Notre solution

We created a three-phase communications strategy to spark global conversation that included a comprehensive press trip programme for international media, A-list celebrity engagement and support with high profile events in both Scotland and London.
