LEADING communications agency, Stripe Communications, has been appointed by The EDI Group Ltd following a five-way competitive pitch in early summer.
The award-winning consultancy will manage all B2B communications and stakeholder activity as part of a five-figure retainer contract for EDI, a property development and investment business owned by the City of Edinburgh Council.
EDI has a number of the city’s most ambitious projects within its portfolio, including the redevelopment and regeneration of Craigmillar, Fountainbridge and Granton Waterfront.
Eric Adair, operations and finance director at EDI, said: “Stripe’s enthusiasm and creativity made it stand out from the crowd in the pitch stages and we are very pleased to be working with the corporate team on some of Edinburgh’s most exciting developments.”
Morna McLelland, managing director at Stripe, added: “With so many innovative and exciting projects underway for Edinburgh, such as the recently launched partnership with Carlton Hotels to deliver a four star design hotel at Market St, the corporate team is looking forward to supporting with the profile raising and community development activity.”
The account will be serviced by Stripe’s corporate team and will be headed up by Kate Forster, associate director.
Stripe Corporate was launched in 2014 with a view to shaking up the corporate communications market. The division offers a comprehensive suite of corporate communications services including communications strategy, corporate reputation management, B2B and trade PR, digital and social strategy management, issues and crisis management.
Working with big brands including ScottishPower B2B, Saxton Bampfylde, C&C Brands and Buccleuch Property, Stripe Corporate delivers bold thinking with an entrepreneurial spirit and creative approach.
