Black Sheep Hotels

Mission & Strategy

AD Publicity worked with Black Sheep Hotels on a 3 month project to ignite interest and generate positive press coverage for this newly refurbished trio of hotels in the Scottish Highlands. They had experienced some negative trade and consumer publicity and the strategy was to retell the story in a fresh way highlighting the unique locations, culinary excellence, spa facilities and sustainability credentials; establishing Black Sheep Hotels as the best place to stay in The Highlands. AD Publicity produced a press tool kit, designed press trips and itineraries that resulted in some outstanding PR in a short space of time.

“This traditional Scottish lodge is bringing first class Indian cuisine to the highlands."

"With such an idyllic, nature-wrapped setting, it’s no surprise that our tartan-accented room made the most of the views: huge floor-to-ceiling windows meant we felt immediately immersed in the unspoilt Scottish landscape. We settled in for a dram of whisky, watching the last of the sunshine disappear behind the hills as the night rolled in."
