Marketing outfit to add 75 Glasgow jobs

- By SCOTT REID mflanagan@scotsman.com

A technology marketing firm plans to create 75 posts in Glasgow on the back of an “unpreceden­ted surge” in demand for its services.

About 30 of the positions Pursuit Marketing is looking to add are English-speaking roles but the group is also seeking bilingual and native speakers fluent in French, Spanish, Italian and key Nordic languages.

Founded six years ago, Pursuit offers telemarket­ing and digital marketing services to some of the world’s largest IT and technology providers.

Operations director Lorraine Gray said: “We are extremely proud of our reputation within this marketspac­e, which has enabled us to expand significan­tly and create 75 new jobs. Over half of the jobs require bilingual skills, which is a great opportunit­y for modern languages graduates.”

The new positions will all be based at Pursuit’s headquarte­rs in the city’s Finnieston district, where the firm is extending its landmark building to create an additional 3,000 square feet of office space overlookin­g the River Clyde.

The company also highlighte­d a string of accolades for its “employee-first ethos” and benefits package, including the Scottish Business Award for People Innovation. It was recently named as a flexible working champion by Family Friendly Working Scotland, a charity founded to promote a flexible and family friendly working culture.

Gray added: “Our growth is a real testament to our highly motivated team and our commitment to achieving exceptiona­l results.” 0 Lorraine Gray – proud of company’s reputation
