Branding best practice

Delivering a successful destination marketing strategy requires a strategic overview, collaboration by key partners, concentrated effort, significant investment and committed, enthusiastic people.

Edinburgh Inspiring Capital is now well established and is delivering impressive results. The Brand has extensive domestic, local and international coverage and has aided the city's inclusion in various global and UK ranking tables.  For more information please view the PDF of our Brand achievements report (opens in new window).  Note, you may need to download Adobe Reader to view the PDF this may take a few moments as it is quite a large document.

In particular we have:

  • developed a range of communications tools to engage with organisations across the Edinburgh City Region
  • created materials and resources that are attractive to Brand adopters
  • devised actions for Brand adopters that benefit their business and boost the visibility of Edinburgh Inspiring Capital
  • undertaken a range of joint promotional activities with Brand adopters.

The team receives regular requests from other destinations for advice on developing a successful city region brand, including Belfast, Sheffield, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Tokyo, Rotterdam, and Cardiff.

We continue to find innovative ways to promote Edinburgh Inspiring Capital. The Brand increasingly influences:

  • how Edinburgh City Region promotes, represents and shares its culture
  • the way the city region showcases its built and natural environment
  • how the city region features in the world's media
  • Edinburgh's relationship with other cities worldwide.

Edinburgh Inspiring Capital is boosting the confidence of the Edinburgh City Region and enhancing its international standing. The city region is increasingly recognised for its outstanding economy, innovation and quality of life.
