ALTAR

Team ALTAR grows again. Over the summer, we welcomed two new additions to our web development team. Based in our Glasgow office at Charing Cross, Alan Wong and Magnus Orr have joined us as Developer and Senior Developer. With a combined expertise in web and digital roles spanning over 25 years and two continents, we're thrilled to bring them onboard during an exciting time of change. #companygrowth #webdevelopment #webdesign

The team swapped pixels for paper as long-time print partners, Winter and Simpson Print, invited Avian along to their state-of-the-art Dundee facility to see their operations first-hand. Joined by third-year DJCAD students Emma & Evie, the afternoon was spent getting expert insight into the printing process, exploring the journey from digital design to finished product. #creativeagency #creativeprocess #digitaltoprint

We’re always looking for ways to improve how we do things at ALTAR. As part of our efforts to enhance our digital infrastructure, today we officially make the company-wide transition from G Suite to Microsoft 365. As part of this update, our emails will now come from the brand-new altar.agency domain. We’re working to ensure this is a seamless process with minimal impact on our work with clients. If you have any questions or need assistance, please get in touch with the team on 01382 223111.

Here’s to starting off the weekend on a high! 🎉 Tonight, we had the pleasure of attending DYW Tay Cities (Developing the Young Workforce) Award Ceremony at the Apex Hotels with our Junior Accounts Assistant, Cameron Fullerton. We're incredibly proud of Cameron's Modern Apprentice of the Year nomination and feel like winners in our own right with him as a part of ALTAR. A massive thank you to the team at Tay Cities for a wonderful evening of food, friendly competition, and live music. Congratulations to all of tonight's winners! #DYWAwardsEvening #DYWTayCities #ModernApprentice

We’re committed to supporting businesses in our area, celebrating the very best of Courier Country, and so ALTAR Group is extremely proud to sponsor the coveted The Courier Business Awards.

And we’re not just sponsors, we’ve also been shortlisted in the Brand Marketing and Social Media category. Roll on awards night! 👏🏻 #SponsorsReception #CourierBusinessAwards

Say Hello to Your Courier Business Award Finalists! 🗣️ Recognised for our work with Angus Gin-maker, Gin Bothy, we’re incredibly proud to be nominated for this year’s The Courier Business Awards in their Brand Marketing & Social Media Category. Telling the story of how the handcrafted spirit made its way into this year’s Oscar Nominees goody bags, our transformative campaign encompassed traditional and social media to present the brand on a global stage. From Scottish & UK press to international outlets, targeted digital ads to social media influencers, we strategically placed Gin Bothy beyond the red carpet, amassing an incredible audience of over 15 million. We've got the goody bag connections, now we just need the award to go with it! #CourierBusinessAwards2024 #Finalists

Meet Jasmine and Emma, two third-year university students who joined us this summer as Ginger and Avian’s interns. Eager to experience agency life, they’ve been diving into live projects across various sectors, putting their studies into practice and collaborating closely with the teams. Our intern and placement programs are a win-win, as while we provide hands-on opportunities to learn, students like Jasmine and Emma inject our teams with fresh perspectives. 🌟 #creativeagency #placementstudents #agencyintern

Keep your eyes peeled this weekend as Ginger’s Elaine Fleming dives into the debate on home vs. office working in the Courier. Elaine loves her days in the office, a converted church, where our three agencies share ideas and collaborate. Recently named the UK’s 32nd Best Small Workplace for Development, we’re all about what works best for our team to encourage creativity along with a good work-life balance.

We're celebrating an incredible milestone for ALTAR'S longest serving employee, Fergus Middleton. This week marks his 40-year anniversary. Fergus' ALTAR journey started in 1984 when fresh from Grove Academy he joined the design team that has gone on to be known as Avian, one of ALTAR's three consultancies. Looking back on his 40 year service, Fergus said: "Design has come a long way from when I started. However, something that has stayed the same is the talent shown by the people I've worked with. Their ability to create amazing ideas while also inspiring others around them to deliver cracking design jobs, has never been in short supply in my 40 years here." #40YearService #WorkplaceAnniversary #DesignAgency
