The Problem We Solve: Embracing a Turbulent Digital Landscape

We find ourselves in a uniquely worrying time.

The entire online ecosystem – including the spaces where we spend much of our day – is shifting beyond recognition at an increasingly rapid rate.

This creates anxiety and uncertainty within organisations – which are then expressed both internally and externally.

Faur is here to ensure you find your voice and locate where you need to be. We think creatively and strategically, working with you to rise above the digital noise, find your audience, and achieve your goals.

Who We Are

Faur was established in 2024.

Our collective experience stretches back many years, including at world-leading companies such as Red Bull, the BBC, Brunswick, Barclaycard, and ITN, as well as across a diverse range of small and medium-sized organisations.

Having seen the power of collaborative networks, Faur was founded to make the most of this. We operate as a collective with a number of skilled and talented Associates (see below!). Each operates at the highest level within their own specialisms.

Our skills span a complementary array of areas and topics, allowing us to tailor and combine talents to take on diverse issues, challenges, and opportunities.

Taking You Forward

Based in Scotland but operating wherever you want us to be, Faur employs a collective approach to fuse together the best expertise across key areas.

We recognise that an inspirational shared vision – articulated through concise and coherent core messaging – is key to successful and sustainable growth.

We keep an eye on the future, using a considerate and comprehensive approach to build short-term resilience while ensuring your organisation is equipped to thrive in the future.

Our Areas Of Focus

We are founded on four key pillars:

  • Faur Sight: Looking outwards with a focus on pragmatic innovation

  • Faur Communications: Speaking effectively with one voice across different platforms to diverse audiences

  • Faur Digital: Embracing the transformative opportunities which exist online

  • Faur Creative: Giving rise to that ingenious spark

Collective Approach

As a collective, Faur partners with you, burnishing you with the skills and experience vital for sustainable long-term growth.

This involves clarifying your needs, identifying solutions, and agreeing on a path forward.

We work as a collective throughout a project’s discovery, planning, production, and measurement phases. 

Our approach is evidence-based and provides solid foundations to be built upon, ensuring the delivery of innovative models primed for future growth and success.
