A Scottish creative communications agency is launching what it is describing as “Scotland’s first Gaelic” public relations service, alongside a recruitment drive.
Spey says it is “bucking industry trends and riding the turbulence of Covid-19, continuing growth plans by enlarging its services, client base and starting a recruitment drive”.
The agency said: “SPEY’s rural HQ, long-standing flexi-working culture and video-focused team communications has allowed it to remain agile in a tough economic climate to move forward onto the next stage of its development plans. The agency is recruiting a PR director to bolster its senior team, expanding its graduate programme focused on retaining and attracting talent to Speyside and working with industry body PRCA to recruit a PR apprentice.”
Spey said it was, in what it described as an “industry first”, on the look-out for a “media-savvy Gaelic graduate to be part of Spey’s Gaelic language PR service, the first of its kind in Scotland”. It noted this service was supported by economic development agency Highlands & Islands Enterprise.
The agency added: “This will provide businesses and organisations with bi-lingual communication campaigns and materials, helping the language have a sustainable future, by making it easier to be part of the Gaelic media landscape.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
