Supporting Economic Development

The Budge PR team offers more than three decades of experience supporting the development of local, regional and national economies. This includes urban regeneration schemes, business support programmes, start-up initiatives, civic pride campaigns and projects to help build specific industrial and business sectors.

A jewel in the crown is Budge PR’s work on the £1 billion International Financial Services District in Glasgow, one of Scotland’s most successful ever inward investment projects. This includes communications strategy development, local, national and international media relations, issues management, copywriting and production of marketing collateral, video production, paid for advertising, event management, on-line content management including social media, speechwriting and preparing winning entries for awards programmes in the UK, Europe and internationally.

David Budge, the lead consultant on the IFSD programme kicked off his economic development experience with several years helping promote Scotland’s most successful Enterprise Zone in Clydebank. This led to subsequent involvement in major area regeneration projects in Leith, Motherwell, Coatbridge and Stirling.

Budge PR has also worked for local development agencies across Glasgow, delivered civic pride campaigns in Glasgow and Paisley, promoted the Ayrshire textiles sector, the Scottish biomedical sector, ran a 24/7 press office operation for Scottish Enterprise in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde for six years and provided PR support to the Clyde Waterfront Partnership.
