3x1 Public Relations

About Us

Founded in Glasgow in 2001, 3x1 Public Relations is a best in class consultancy. We are the only agency to be voted Scotland's PR Consultancy of the Year four times at the Pride Awards by the Chartered Institute of Public Relations. The consultancy is proudly independent and one of only two Scottish agencies to be ranked in PR Week's Top 150 league table and Top 40 Outside London. Similarly we are ranked a Top 100 Agency outside London by the Recommended Agency Register (RAR). With offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh 3x1 specialises in media relations, media training, digital and social communications, stakeholder relations, crisis/reputation management and public affairs. Our 60-plus blue-chip client roster is managed by a 25-strong team with extensive experience working across private, public and not-for-profit campaigns in media relations; crisis management; public affairs; tourism, sport & leisure; social media management; economic development; food & drink; arts & entertainment; environmental & renewable energy; corporate & financial communications and retail, property & planning. We have an in-depth understanding of the fast-changing political, economic and media landscape in Scotland. Against the backdrop of the 2014 independence referendum, the acquisition of MMM in 2012, a Scottish public affairs/PR consultancy, has equipped us to counsel clients knowledgeably and strategically on the potential impact of constitutional change. 3x1 is also the preferred Scotland partner of FTI Consulting offering access to a global network of 60 offices and affiliates in London, Europe and worldwide. Our vision is to be recognised as one of the UK's leading independent PR consultancies with an outstanding reputation built through client trust, retention and excellent campaigns.
