The Very People

The Very People is a very different kind of marketing and communications consultancy. It only provides senior practitioners in marketing, communications and editorial. As a hard-nosed bunch of professionals, we were convinced by the business case for creating a co-op where we could pool skills and resources, gain synergy from the team, and ultimately share risk and reward on an equitable basis.

The team includes business editors, PR directors and marketers. We work collaboratively with clients, developing and implementing campaign strategies.

We launched the business in July 2006 after receiving valuable support and advice from Co-operative Development Scotland on our co-operatively structure and management.
