Creative agency hails ‘record’ figures

● Whitespace sees turnover increase to £5.6m in 2016 as it grows client list

Headline projects in 2016 included building the Scotland VR app for Visitscotland, which was crowned best app at the Scottish Design Awards last week.

The Whitespace team has also opened the doors to its 12,500-square-foot space at Norloch House on King’s Stables Road to the wider creative industry in Scotland.

Valentine said: “By engaging with the rest of the creative community, we are building partnerships that are helping to move the whole industry forward in Scotland.”

It says it works across brand, digital and content, creating bespoke client teams in the agency to provide the right skills required.

“The teams combine insight planning and strategy, creative, user experience, digital marketing and technology experts,” the company added.

Valentine told The Scotsman last year that the firm was planning to open an office in London and flagged China as an area of interest.

“Our next phase of growth will be marked by more international work and the expansion of the team both in terms of our skills, services and geography,” he said then.

“Our ambition is to be a leading international creative agency with its main base in Scotland.”
