Sheffield-based Scala is celebrating after winning several new contracts, as the marketing communications agency continues to expand its team and specialist offering in the legal and healthcare sectors.
Scala’s roster of clients now includes Kain Knight, STEPS Prosthetics and Inspire Legal Group. The team also represents individual barristers and QCs, as well as barristers’ chambers throughout the UK.
Scala has also been highly commended in the Best Social Purpose Campaign category at the Prolific North Marketing Awards and is in the running for an accolade at The British Business Awards 2022, for its work campaigning for the appointment of an independent review to take place.
The independent review, by Donna Ockenden, senior midwifery adviser to the chief executive of the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), was called for in response to news about the maternity scandal at Nottingham University Hospitals Trust.
Scala provided PR support and guidance to the families of those affected and their legal team, as they told their stories to media outlets including BBC News, ITV News, Sky and Channel 4.
The campaign, which Scala has been involved in for many years, instigated an independent review of maternity services at the highest levels of government, to expose deep-rooted issues surrounding maternity care, which led to several baby deaths and serious injuries to babies and mothers.
Natalie Rodgers (pictured), a non-practising solicitor and managing director, founded Scala in 2009 and advises in some of the country’s most high-profile legal cases in the media, particularly those with a political campaign element.
Rodgers said: “Our specialist knowledge in the clinical negligence, healthcare and legal sectors has positioned us as the go-to marketing comms agency when dealing with highly sensitive and high-profile media cases. We are seeing significant growth in enquiries for our PR and marketing communications services in 2022, which has given us confidence to employ more staff to strengthen our team.”
“We truly care about the people we represent, guiding them through some of toughest times they may ever face. Our campaigns change lives for the better at the highest level, and we remain committed to offering the best possible service to existing and new clients alike.”
