Scottish Sea Farms

Managing the media around the £164m acquisition of a rival producer.

The ask

Shape the narrative around Scottish Sea Farms’ £164m acquisition of rival Grieg Seafood Shetland – without the story leaking first.

No items found.
The approach

• Write the main release, highlighting the strategy behind the purchase
• Prepare a company statement for key stakeholders, including Cabinet ministers, M&S Food, Waitrose and RSPCA Assured
• Ghost-write the MD’s communications to employees (existing and new)
• On approval of the acquisition, circulate each of the above communications to the target audience without anyone reading it elsewhere first.

Key outcomes

Positive coverage of the promised benefits of the purchase in national, regional, business and trade titles alike, reinforced at regular intervals thereafter with updates on the advances being made.

Feedback
‘Lesley played a significant role in improving the reputation of Scotland’s salmon industry during her time as communications lead for one of its most forward-thinking producers.’
