CP Media will roll out a major upgrade of media sites across all 33 CalMac ferries, ranging from traditional print to the latest digital screens. These will showcase the region’s rich variety of businesses to tourists and members of the local communities that regularly use and depend on the service.
CalMac is the UK's largest ferry operator transporting more than five million passengers a year to the Clyde, West Coast and Hebridean Islands.
CP Media is one of the UK’s fastest growing outdoor advertising agencies with two offices in Yorkshire and more than 40 employees. It provides bespoke advertising and sponsorship services that enable local authorities and transport providers to capitalise on their assets.
The ferry service provides an everyday lifeline service to West Coast communities and is a vital part of the tourism industry in Scotland. This strategic partnership will support our revenues and enable continued investment in these hugely important services for the area's community and economy.”
