Founding Partner of SPEY, best small agency in Scotland according to PRCA. Headquartered in Speyside, SPEY is an independent locally rooted agency with a global outlook and has everything you would expect from an integrated communications agency- creative strategy, PR, social and content.
Best advice I was ever given was by the late and great Sir Angus Grossart:
“Never drive looking in the rearview mirror.” I’ve never looked back since.
Jennifer’s story
I was actually working for another PR agency when I decided to set up SPEY. I had tried to persuade them, unsuccessfully, on the business case for setting up a north office, but they just didn’t get it. So, I decided to do it myself.
My biggest challenge was
Starting a business with just organic growth and no investors was challenging but also rewarding ensuring the company’s independence and entrepreneurial spirit thrived. Continuing to build the business this way in spite of a global pandemic and having two kids during this period was my biggest test so far. But I have lived to tell the tale!
