tigerbond has been appointed to handle PR and social for leading Scottish food and drink wholesaler, Dunns Food and Drinks.
The integrated communications agency will work with the company on a retained brief, with the account led from tigerbond’s Glasgow office. It has been tasked with raising and consolidating the businesses’ reputation amongst industry decision makers, spotlighting business developments and shining a light on CSR activity through corporate and B2B communications.
tigerbond’s in-house social and design teams will lead on creative and content production for the wholesaler, with the aim of reaching wider audiences and driving engagement.
Dunns Food and Drinks was founded by Joseph Dunn in 1875 and has been family-owned and operated ever since. The business is set to celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2025, which will be a cornerstone of the communications work deployed by tigerbond.
Speaking on the decision to appoint tigerbond, Jim Rowan, managing director of Dunns Food and Drinks, said: “We’re thrilled to be working with the team at tigerbond, who will support us across both PR and social media. The team’s industry expertise and integrated approach means we will be well placed to shout about the business as it gears up to a special 150th anniversary milestone.”
The appointment follows a number of new business wins for tigerbond this year, which has expanded its portfolio with new briefs from digital transformation specialist Exchange Communications, electronic goods recycling expert Optimum Eco Group and luxury hotel chain, Crerar Hotels.
Joanne Spence, co-founder at tigerbond, said: “Dunns Food and Drinks has an impressive reputation as one of Scotland’s leading food and drinks wholesalers, offering an extensive collection of quality foods, craft beers, wines and spirits from across the world.
“This is an exciting new business win and the team is delighted to get started. Dunns Food and Drinks really is a one-stop shop for food and drinks requirements and, with the 150th anniversary on the horizon, it’s such an exciting time to be working with the business to help tell its story.”
Formed in 2021 following a management buyout, tigerbond is a full-service communications agency with offices across England, Scotland, and Ireland, employing 100 staff. The agency achieved Campaign’s Best Places to Work status earlier this year, landing 5th place out of 100 UK agencies, and was announced as DE&I Finalist in the Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards.
tigerbond has also pledged its commitment to joining the B Corp journey after establishing its dedicated sustainability practice, tigerB, in 2022.
Dunns Food and Drinks joins tigerbond’s roster of major brands including Specsavers, Tesco, VUE, Cala Homes and Smiggle.
