Fame Publicity Services
Description
In 1993, public relations consultant and freelance journalist Murdoch MacDonald and his wife Lilian set up a new PR firm in Ayrshire, Scotland called Fame Publicity Services.
Fame Publicity Services is targeting companies of all sizes throughout Scotland, as Murdoch believes that there is a huge gap in the market for publicising the country’s industry and commerce in the national, international and trade media, and especially the Internet.
Clients include Accident & Injury Claims Centre, building contractors [williamskinner.co.uk|William Skinner & Son]], finance broker First Independent Finance Limited and Fairfield House Hotel.
Murdoch says: "No other public relations consultancy, PR firm or publicity company can offer you a better or more cost-effective worldwide news distribution service, combined with search engine optimisation that will drive customers to your door. No matter where you are in the world, contact us now to see how we can use stories about your business to obtain unrivalled international media coverage, and at the same time dramatically increase your visibility on the Internet."
Murdoch MacDonald has been in the public relations industry and a freelance journalist and broadcaster for more than thirty years, working for clients including Royal Bank of Scotland, Standard Life, Scottish Amicable, Scottish Provident, John Menzies, Kwik-Fit, Highland Regional Council, Barratt Homes and Scottish & Universal Newspapers, part of the Trinity Mirror Group. The Sunday Herald has called him the grandfather of the PR profession in Scotland.
A graduate of Magdalene College, University of Cambridge, Murdoch is no newcomer either to the allied professions of freelance journalism and broadcasting.
At the start of his career, for 18 months he produced, edited and presented a family finance radio programme called £s, Pence and Sense for Radio Forth, the independent local radio station serving Edinburgh and East Central Scotland, and also made contributions of a similar nature to BBC Radio Scotland.
Subsequently he was the roving reporter in a six-part series of a television financial advice programme called Moneywise, produced and networked throughout the UK by Scottish Television. For several years, he also wrote his own regular monthly by-lined full-page article for Business Scotland magazine, at that time the best-known and most prestigious business periodical in Scotland. He took over the feature page previously written by Magnus Magnusson, who went on to higher things with Mastermind on BBC Television.
