Recent Projects
We act for Cisco in Scotland on all external PR activity.
Richard Moir, Chief Technology Officer, Cisco Scotland says:
"Perceptive Partners really understands the media and how to make the most of this from Cisco's perspective. They have been instrumental in positioning us as a key voice of IT.
"With the help of Perceptive Partners, we have managed to build good relationships with hard to reach journalists and have been able to get some excellent coverage through articles and comments into media that have had a significant impact on Cisco's brand and establishing us as a credible spokesperson on various business and technology issues."
ScotlandIS
We represent ScotlandIS, the ICT trade body in Scotland. We work very closely with their Executive Director to raise their profile and key messages amongst the relevant media.
Polly Purvis, Executive Director, ScotlandIS commented:
"We very much value our relationship with Perceptive Partners. They are very proactive and I have been impressed by how quickly they have understood our business, our key messages and issues. They have become trusted advisers thanks to their helpful approach, insightful knowledge and excellent media contacts."
Buck Consultants
We have been working with employee benefits advisers, Buck Consultants for several years. We have successfully positioned their director, Fraser Smart as a thought leader on pensions issues. Fraser is a regular commentator in both print and broadcast media.
Fraser Smart, Director at Buck Consultants:
"Your input has helped take the profile of our business in Scotland from zero to a point where we are able to place commentary in front of our target audience on topics that help us to demonstrate our technical capabilities with them and largely when we wish to. Our coverage has included newspaper, radio and TV. The most satisfying aspect was our appointment to a £50,000 contract as a direct result of a decision maker reading some of our commentary in a national Sunday newspaper."
City Legacy
City Legacy is the property consortium building the Athletes' Village for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014. We represent the communications activities for City Legacy.
Mactaggart & Mickel
We recently provided cover while one of Mactaggart & Mickel's directors was on maternity leave. This included all aspects of corporate communications from media relations and crisis management to staff communications. Whilst working with Mactaggart & Mickel, the company won several awards including NHBC Scottish Site manager of the Year and Housebuilder of the Year at The Herald Property Awards.
Ed Monaghan, Managing Director, Mactaggart & Mickel comments:
"We have been very fortunate to find Perceptive Partners at a time when a member of my team went off on maternity leave. Rarely have I worked with a consultant that gives so much and is so committed to the role that I have remind myself that she is a consultant and not an employee."
voicebusiness - Marketing & PR
We helped develop a new communications strategy for voicebusiness, an innovative training company which trains people to speak in public using specially adapted acting techniques for the business environment. This involved a strategic marketing review, client research, profile raising PR and a review of their website.
Cordelia Ditton, Director of voicebusiness said:
"Perceptive Partners really understands our business and has worked hard to get under the skin of it to provide useful insights. They are focused, organised, deliver on their promises and are willing to go the extra mile. We get great value from working with Perceptive Partners and I would highly recommend working with them."
