Who we are

Championing meaningful connections

We believe everyone has a story to tell.

And we’ll use our full suite of expertise, insights and connections to get that story seen and heard.

Scope Communications is an award-winning communications and digital consultancy bringing people and ideas together through authentic storytelling, media relationships and digital know-how.
 

Scope Communications sent out its first press release way back in 2013. In those early days, our goal was to share stories, but over the years, this purpose has grown to become multi-channelled and multi-faceted.

We’re now in the business of amplifying stories, making messages stick and growing the vital connections that communities and businesses need to flourish.

Years of prior experience working in national media has helped us understand, anticipate, and develop the ‘story’. Our finely tuned marketing communications experience has helped brands – from small SMEs to large international companies – increase sales, improve stakeholder engagement, grow reputation and boost awareness.

Capturing the attention of today's audience amongst a busy digital landscape takes creativity, connections, and consistency.
