Littlehouse Media
Armed with bags of experience, creativity, fresh thinking and ambition, Paddy Cuthbert confidently manages results-driven communication programmes for clients from across the adventure sports, tourism and cultural sectors, from his base in Edinburgh.

Whatever the budget, whatever the brief, every campaign is designed to reach, engage and influence audiences, building brand credibility and trust, raising awareness, and creating positive perceptions whilst driving behaviour change.
Paddy Cuthbert has forged strong, powerful and lasting relationships with clients, project partners and a wide variety of stakeholders (local government, commercial sponsors, charities, suppliers, national funding bodies, etc), as well as with regional, national and international print, online and broadcast media journalists, bloggers and influencers.
Whether working on media relations for a one-off project or event or delivering a fully-managed and strategic digital marketing campaign that utilises all the tools in his armoury over a longer period, Paddy Cuthbert and his specialist team of collaborators bring the same dedication and enthusiasm to the table.
