  CIVIC re-appointed to Scottish Government roster 

  
  After a lengthy and tough tendering process and months of nail-biting, CIVIC can announce it has been successfully re-appointed to the Scottish Government’s framework for Digital Services.

  The other eight Scottish agencies joining us are Whitespace, The Union, Dog Digital Ltd, Story UK Ltd, Storm ID, Golley Slater, Innovation Digital, and The Gate.

  Digital is a new category, replacing Web which previously was held by three retained agencies, CIVIC, Union Digital and Whitespace.

  Managing Director Greig Tosh said, “We are absolutely delighted to retain our position on the roster. We have enjoyed working with the Scottish Government and its partner agencies over the last four years, delivering award winning digital work. We look forward immensely to being given the opportunity to continue sharing our ideas to help the Government and its partners successful digital communications strategies.”

  Favourite Toy Giveaway helps Sick Kids 

  CIVIC’s annual charity donation has been a resounding success. In our “Favourite Toy Giveaway”, each day of advent, a member of staff donated the cash equivalent of their most prized childhood toy to the Sick Kids Friends Foundation. As parents, several CIVIC employees have experienced first-hand the grand job that the staff of Edinburgh’s Sick Kids hospital does and we hope the donation of £642.37 will go a small way to helping more kids in need.

  ‘Madonna’ attends CIVIC Christmas party 

  Thistle Street’s Café Marlayne was the venue for this year’s Civic Christmas outing on Friday 19 December. This year’s theme was celebrity lookalikes with uncanny resemblances to such A-listers as Madonna and, (ahem) Kerry Katona amazing restaurant staff as they served a feast of festive delights such as seared king scallops and prune and Armagnac tart.

  Managing Director Greig ‘Freddie Mercury’ Tosh presided over the annual awards ceremony where top notch prizes for categories such as the Russell Brand ‘just stepped out of a salon’ award for best hair-do and the Amy Winehouse ‘they tried to make me go to rehab’ award for the person most likely to self-destruct were given to a glittering array of ’stars’. A splendid time was had by all.
