It's a swarm of Time Outs : After the successful launch of Time Out Manchester earlier this month, Edinburgh is the second of six cities in the nationwide roll-out. This is followed by the launches of Time Out Leeds and Glasgow in November and Bristol and Birmingham in early 2015. Each city will have its own editor, who will curate content from local experts through the launch of an extensive Time Out blogger network.
“Well, if its matching body-con dresses and awkward catwalk behaviour then Ayrshire travel agency Thorne Travel are the chap(ette)s for you.
These gloom-busting wonder women (and man) walk round their local town of Kilwinning sending people on cruises, transforming a random woman into a bride and sending a sulking child to Disneyland.”
Want to grab the attention of the Scottish public whilst out canvassing to see which way they plan to vote?
Well look no further as Promotional Products Week (PPW) has created a ‘referendum voting highlighter’ that will allow the Scottish public to show with ease which way they plan to cast their vote and make political history.

We give you the misses from the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony via the Guardian
• In its echo of the reference to Brookside's lesbian kiss in the London 2012 ceremony, the Barrowman kiss made us seem a rather prurient nation
• On the eve of Scotland's referendum on independence, the ceremony resorted to clichés of the Loch Ness monster, Irn Bru and a sea of tartan instead of telling viewers something new
• The overhead shots made it look like a good few ticket-holders had decided to plump for a quiet night in front of the telly instead
Irn-Bru has released an impassioned and cinematic advert to celebrate the arrival of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
The video, called IRN In Our Blood, features a good-humored narrative talking about Scotland’s attitudes to sport and it’s status as perennial underdogs, two elements why belie the passion Scotland has for sport and its sporting heroes.
Created by the Leigh Agency, the 1-minute long advert is a rally cry to all Scots in the build up to the Games to back their country and join a long history of impassioned Scottish people in supporting the Games in Scotland.
For the launch of the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes movie, experiential agency psLIVE @psLIVE_UK are commissioning two projections in London and Edinburgh to build hype around the new release.
To tie in with the cinema release date, on the dawn of the 17th July, pro-ape messaging such as ‘apes together strong’ will be simultaneously projected onto the facade of two iconic British landmarks; City Hall in London and Edinburgh Castle. [more…]
