Broughty Ferry creative agency Altar Group has kicked off the new year by winning contracts worth a total of £250,000.

Altar Group is an integrated marketing, design and digital agency.

It operates design studio Avian, web design firm Blue2 Digital, public relations firm Ginger PR and digital research consultancy Kolabo.

The group has added the Scottish Energy Forum, Abertay University and Caledonian Housing to its client roster.

Avian welcomes on board Abertay University, London-based Austin Capital and Schwartzbrau, a new German beer brand.

Blue2 is now working with Caledonian Housing, Welsh Whisky company Penderyn and the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.

New clients for Ginger include Rocket Heritage & Archaeology, Simon Howie Butchers, and The Scottish Energy Forum.

In 2021 the business moved to an employee ownership model.

Staff now indirectly own a majority stake at 60% of the business. The remaining 40% is held by original shareholders and key staff members.

Altar Group is based in a former church on Broughty Ferry’s Brook Street.

Penderyn marketing manager Caroline Roberts praised the Altar Group team.

She said: “Their skills, experience, attention to detail and support is first class.

“They really do feel like an extension to our marketing team, not a separate company.”
