Today, Muckle Media has announced it has bought Platform PR, one of the north of Scotland’s leading communications consultancies.

The exciting deal supports Muckle Media’s ambitions to expand across the UK and will see Platform PR managing director Jane Cumming and director Jenny MacPherson join Muckle Media’s board. The new team of 12 will continue to grow Muckle Media Group across the Highlands, central belt of Scotland and the UK.

Muckle Media’s experience in media relations, social media marketing and communications strategy for primarily corporate, consumer, public and third sector and technology firms will complement Platform PR’s PR and public affairs expertise in the renewable energy, food and drink sectors to form a creative agency which offers support across all sectors with a specialist senior team of practitioners. Existing Muckle Media clients such as Gett and Entrepreneurial Spark will be complemented by long standing Platform PR clients including Marine Harvest and Falck Renewables.

Nathalie Agnew, managing director, Muckle Media Group, said, “I’ve long respected Jane, Jenny and colleagues at Platform PR and look forward to welcoming them to our team. I’m certain a number of our clients will benefit from their senior counsel and can’t wait to work together as we shape the future of Muckle Media Group, helping clients to achieve their organisational objectives using smart communications.”
