STARTING OUT
Former newspaperman David Cameron left the newsroom
for a spare room in his home back in 1998 to start Connect.
The aim was to give organisations – including multinational
plcs, membership bodies, the private and public
sector – the same quality of publications normally reserved
for the news stand.
TOP OF THE CLASS
Since then, we have grown to become one of the biggest
agencies of our kind in the UK, crafting communications that
bring the messages and stories of our clients to life for a wide
range of audiences.
We not only produce communications ranging from print
magazines to tablet and smartphone apps and websites,
we also fill them with compelling content.
WORLD CLASS
From the Glasgow suburbs to an office in Paisley – followed
by another base in Edinburgh – the company’s gaze has
since gone global, helping clients around the world to
communicate with their audiences.
And what’s the secret to our success? It’s simple. It’s about
creating products that delight and enlighten, and building
lasting relationships with our clients.
WE PRODUCE A RANGE OF PRODUCTS
Whether it’s a print magazine, a website, an app or a range
of communications materials, we can deliver everything you
need to take that kernel of an idea and turn it into something
that grabs attention and inspires action.
WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH YOU
We’ll work with you to establish the needs of your business
and to deliver communications that make your audiences
sit up and take notice.We create great content, from copy
to pictures and video, and we design print and digital
publications, as well as build e-newsletters, websites and apps.
WE OFFER A RANGE OF SERVICES
Our services include consultancy to help you plan the
best strategy; project management to make sure everything
runs to plan; copywriting, photography and video
production, because quality content is crucial; editing to
make sure content works as it should; advertising sales for
commercial support; and print, fulfilment and distribution
management to deliver publications into the hands of the
people who matter.
