Stripe Communications has been appointed by Glasgow City Marketing Bureau to promote Glasgow’s unrivalled shopping scene and city centre events and attractions during the Christmas period.

Appointed without pitch following a portfolio of successful campaigns with GCMB, Stripe’s remit will be to devise and implement a PR campaign for Glasgow’s Christmas Wrapped Up! campaign which highlights the city’s reputation as the ultimate destination for Christmas shopping and celebrating.

Launched in 2007, ‘Christmas Wrapped Up!’ >. Last year, Glasgow was named as the UK’s top Christmas shopping destination outside London, an accolade that can only be strengthened this year with the newly-crowned Style Mile: inspirational shopping, atmospheric cafes, fine restaurants and decadent late night haunts all within a compact square mile in the heart of the Glasgow.

Juliet Simpson, Stripe Managing Director, comments: “This year, more than ever, shoppers are set to flock to Glasgow for its super-league shopping status, wealth of choice all within a compact, walkable space and perhaps most importantly, its ease of access. We can’t wait to put the joy back into Christmas shopping with the Marketing Bureau.”
