ENTIRE marketing needs from press to digital can now be looked after by the ever-evolving Scottish Provincial Press (SPP).

Sian Jamieson, SPPs social media and marketing manager, said: This is a big and exciting step forward for SPP.

Digital marketing has been really hotting up over the last few years and I hear directly from businesses that they know they need to do their online marketing better, but just cant find the time, money, knowledge or experience to do it properly.

What we can offer is not only a full package of professional digital and print media marketing solutions, but decades of local knowledge and advertising experience and a SPP team that know the area, the people and its needs and is committed to seeing everyone make the most of the boundless opportunities to promote ourselves better in this digital world.

SPPs services will ensure that each clients digital presence improves and that each reach more people and the right people at the right time. Its digital solutions take the headache out of learning and implementing new technologies alongside running their business.

Our task now is to ensure that we make all of our much-valued clients in the north understand that we want to take them into a marketplace that will help them to combat heavy competition from larger national and international companies and help them to build a stronger, local customer base.

I will also ensure that we give every client an opportunity to see and hear about the quality and results of this new venture and how SPP can again deliver some of the leading products in the marketing world that will help them strive toward their short, medium and long-term business goals.
