Entrepreneurial Scotland (ES) aims to inspire and develop Scotland’s people to build the most entrepreneurial society in the world. The organisation is inspiring, developing and connecting a diverse, talented and ambitious community of people who have the potential to change our economy and society.

We help ES with their external communications and PR for their signature events; the annual ES Summit, Saltire Foundation Leadership Day; and member-focused events with some of the country’s most successful entrepreneurs. Alongside this, we advise ES on stakeholder engagement and digital strategy

The challenge

How we used creativity to design the right response
