About us

Scotland demands and deserves a world-class communications and public affairs agency.

Charlotte Street Partners is that agency.

In an increasingly challenging operating environment, leaders need insight, strategic counsel, global context and expert communications advice from people they trust and like.

Our clients value the quality of our advice and senior counsel.

They value the oversight of our partners, our networks and connections and the enhanced context we provide.

They value our candour and our pragmatism.

They share our infectious, ambitious spirit.

They like our people.

And they see and feel the difference we bring in the work we do together.

Being sector agnostic, we are on the pulse of what’s happening in business, media, government and the third sector – in Scotland and across the UK.

Our Difference

Our people think beyond communication. We bring together the best and brightest of careers forged across many sectors and the UK’s civic, industry, political and media landscapes.

Everything we do is based on partnerships – working together with our clients to make a difference to their business and purpose, wider society and the world.

To do that we build relationships based on candour, trust and excellence. We earn the right to challenge organisations to be the best they can be and present themselves confidently to the world outside.

“Their unrivalled network across the political spectrum in Scotland and grasp of policy detail has helped us stay on top of issues and, crucially, remain in step with elected members and candidates at critical moments for our business. Throughout the many elections we’ve weathered with the team, we’ve been grateful for their varied and balanced outlook to inform our own work.”

Katie Milligan, Chief Commercial Officer, Openreach

 

Our Story

Our founders, Malcolm and Andrew, started out in 2013 to build a different kind of communications and public affairs agency.

Over nightcaps in Fitzrovia’s Charlotte Street Hotel (from which we take our name), they determined to create something different – an agency that provides excellent, long-term value.

They created an Edinburgh agency that is based on difference, partnership and excellence with a loyal client base, some of whom have been with us since day one, and who benefit each day from the expert team.

A decade on, Charlotte Street Partners is a world-class Scotland-based strategic communications and public affairs agency. We provide high-level insight, confident counsel and expert advice to organisations from around the world on some of today’s most impactful communications issues and projects.

“Charlotte Street Partners’ insight, guidance and advice has proven invaluable to us as we navigate the turbulent world of Scottish politics.”

Gordon Robertson, Chief Communications and Sustainability Officer, Edinburgh Airport
