Join us in Edinburgh for our first CIM Social of 2026.
We'll be joined by Alastair Stewart from Orbit Communications, where we'll discuss creating a positive narrative in a world where we expect brands to be good citizens. Consumers are now expecting brands to stand for more than just making a profit. Using the crowded renewables sector as a case study, Alastair explores where brands can successfully walk the path of sharing positive environmental initiatives whilst minimising toxic blow-back, using PR and public affairs strategies to turn the tables at a hyperlocal level.
Alastair Stewart is Account Director at Orbit Communications, an award-winning communications consultancy. He is a national columnist specialising in Scottish history, devolution and UK politics. His bylines include The Times, The Scotsman, The Herald and the Edinburgh Evening News.
Registration and networking from 08:30, the event starts at 09:00 and finishes at 10:00. Pastries and refreshments will be provided. If you have any requirements please inform the team at
