How can we work for you

Scottish Rugby has provided copy for SCRUM magazine since its launch as a means of extending the reach of marketing messages to, and sharing best practice with, the club audience in Scotland.We have always been pleased with Scrum magazines flexibility and willingness to provide additional editorial space in support of Scottish Rugbys events and programmes.”

Radio Borders teamed up with SCRUM magazine for the first time last season, 2008/9 and from our point of view it has been a very worthwhile and positive exercise. The quality of the publication is top class and as a result mirrors our own high standards of broadcast rugby commentary and analysis. We gave them a brief to produce an advert for the magazine and three excellent alternatives were produced. The advert we chose has helped strengthen our brand across Scotland and beyond in the ranks of rugby fans who read the magazine. As for the team at Bell Johnstone, every one Ive dealt with are professional and a pleasure to work with.”
