There’s plenty to #Smile about this EO Day.
Since becoming employee-owned in 2021, we’ve built a culture where everyone has a say - and a stake - in how we work and where we’re headed. This shared ownership enriches everything we do, from our thinking and creativity to the care we put into each project.
So Happy EO Day, from one of Scotland’s only EO creative consultancies😊.

Class was back in session at the High School of Dundee as we created a full promotional campaign aimed at prospective parents. From first bell to final edit, we scripted, storyboarded and directed a 30-second TV advert with the help of their fantastic pupils and staff - now airing on STV for the next two months.
Alongside the hero ad, we refreshed the school’s website, launched a dedicated landing page and delivered a targeted digital marketing campaign, bringing all activity together for maximum impact. Big thanks to our production partners Arms & Legs and Richard Wood for collaborating with us to bring the project to life.

This weekend it was boots on the ground at Glasgow`s Kiltwalk Village for our client and ‘Official Flavoured Water Sponsor’ of the Kiltwalk, Macb.
Glasgow’s Kiltwalk is the first of four charity walking events taking place in the coming months with Macb in full support. A spin-to-win prize wheel, branded swag and of course, thousands of bottles of high in demand Macb kept the crowds smiling.
Glasgow walkers were the first to experience an all-new Altar addition to Macb`s very welcome presence - a larger-than-life, four sided photo cube with custom winner’s podium. Don’t miss the chance to see it for yourself at the Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh events.

New views at the Gourock Station walkway! We’ve re-imagined 105 metres of platform space into a bold visual story. Designed to bring the Inverclyde landscape to life, the mural showcases community views, local photography and a love for the region’s heritage and marine spirit.
Commissioned by Inverclyde Council and funded by Sustrans, the project aims to encourage active travel along NCN 75. One more reason to keep moving.

Dedicated to supporting our local community, this week we were delighted to be in a position to support the Broughty Ferry Boating and Royal Tay Yacht Club’s 150th anniversary festivities.
Teaming up with our print and display partners, @wintersimpsonprint, we designed and donated a commemorative display featuring historic documents and photos from the past century and a half. Unveiled at last night’s Jubilee event, the display will remain a permanent feature in the clubhouse throughout 2025, honouring our town’s seafaring heritage.

Altar Client Services Director, Andrea Kirkwood knows how to build brands. For over 20 years, she’s shaped countless identities, launched hundreds of products and brought bold ideas to life. Now, on #InternationalWomensDay, we’re celebrating her latest achievement - joining our Board of Directors.
This appointment brings our board to a 50/50 gender split and reflects a broader shift across the company. Over the last 10 years, female representation in our team has grown from 20% to 37%. We know different perspectives make us stronger, and our commitment to diversity and inclusion is driving real change.
With a career spanning brands like Highland Park Whisky and Ian MacLeod Distillers, Andrea has been a core part of Altar’s success and now as a board member, she’s ready to shape what comes next.
