A History

Set up in 2009 by Peter McKay, McKay Media provides a full PR service that is second to none. Although we specialise in the travel and tourism sector, we have also been extremely successful in other fields especially finance, education, technology and manufacturing.

Peter has a long and successful involvement with the media industry over several decades. Coming from a banking background, he started his media career purely by accident and within months was winning awards for his widely syndicated reporting from the front line of the Bosnian War. Back in his day job, he was a producer for a highly successful commercial radio station when it won the prestigious Sony Local Radio Station of the Year. In this role, Peter was equally at home in front of the microphone and presented several shows as well as being a well-known voice when presenting outside broadcasts around the country.

It wasn’t long before the BBC picked up the phone and Peter was poached to produce a number of speech programmes for BBC Radio, laterally the award winning Gary Robertson programme – a 90 minute live magazine show broadcast internationally. His last BBC programme was the widely acclaimed documentary Jailed when he interviewed Patrick Magee, the IRA man responsible for the Brighton bombing atrocity. This was partly recorded at the remnants of the Mazes Prison just outside Belfast more commonly known as the infamous H Blocks.

After 10 years with the BBC, Peter was again poached from a leading PR Agency based in Edinburgh to front, lead and manage their major accounts. Within the first 6 months, he had secured the 2 biggest stories in the agency’s history – the discovery of the world’s oldest bottle of Champagne on Mull and the sea trials of a rescue submarine for the Chinese Navy for the Underwater Centre in Fort William. A worldwide audience of over 200 million read, watched or listened to these each of these stories.

However, it wasn’t long before Peter realised that his destiny lay in his own hands and the decision to set up McKay Media was the obvious progression. Since 2009, McKay Media has become one of the most respected and trusted PR Consultancies in Scotland and has produced some outstanding results for clients. We are known by journalists across Scotland, the UK and internationally and are a trusted and respected source of both news and feature output.
