TL;DR: Lloyds Banking Group is investing £200m to redevelop the Port Hamilton building on Morrison Street into its Scottish headquarters, targeting completion by 2027, and M&G Prudential is moving 400 roles into the city as part of a UK-wide consolidation. The City of Edinburgh's registered business stock grew more than any other Scottish local authority in the year to March 2025 (Scottish Government, Businesses in Scotland 2025). Blueberry Media works with Edinburgh-based founders and directors entirely remotely from Hungerford, Berkshire. We record a 45-minute conversation every two weeks and turn it into three to four LinkedIn posts, monthly rolling, no long-term contract. Here is the complete guide to LinkedIn personal branding for Edinburgh's leadership market.
Edinburgh's financial services sector is in the middle of a significant reinvestment cycle. Lloyds Banking Group is redeveloping the Port Hamilton building on Morrison Street, previously home to Scottish Widows, into a £200m Scottish headquarters for the wider group, including Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland, targeting completion by 2027. M&G Prudential is separately moving 400 roles into its Edinburgh operation over an 18-month period as it consolidates from seven UK sites to three.
City of Edinburgh's registered business stock rose by 390 businesses in the year to March 2025, the largest increase of any local authority area in Scotland (Scottish Government, Businesses in Scotland 2025), and 2,655 new businesses were registered in the city in the first half of 2025 alone (Companies House data via Iwoca's Business Hotspots 2025 report). Edinburgh is the UK's second-largest financial centre after London and home to more than 200 fintech companies. As with the pattern covered in our guide to B2B buying behaviour on LinkedIn, a concentration of financial and professional buyers like this tends to mean more of the sales process happens before anyone picks up the phone.
Blueberry Media is based in Hungerford, Berkshire, around 376 miles away. That is further than any of our other national hub cities, and the working model stays the same: we work with Edinburgh-based founders and directors entirely remotely, the same way we work with clients across the rest of the UK.
"Edinburgh" covers several distinct buyer markets. Which part of the city a founder or director works from usually says more about who they're selling to than the city name does on its own.
| District | Dominant sector | Why it matters for LinkedIn |
|---|---|---|
| New Town | Finance, law, high-end retail | A UNESCO World Heritage commercial hub built on Scotland's oldest financial institutions, where formal credibility signals still carry weight |
| West End | Professional services, boutique advisory firms | An extension of New Town favoured by smaller, specialist consultancies over larger corporate tenants |
| Leith | Creative and digital agencies, startups | A younger, faster-moving business base, where the founder's own voice often carries more weight than the company page |
| South Gyle | Tech and corporate HQs, near the airport | Modern office parks housing scaled tech and corporate functions, an audience increasingly active on LinkedIn |
Our Edinburgh clients tend to sit in financial services and fintech around New Town and the West End, and in creative or digital businesses based in Leith. That expertise rarely shows up anywhere outside client meetings and pitch decks. We turn it into a consistent LinkedIn presence in your own voice, so an Edinburgh buyer comparing New Town advisers or Leith agencies finds you before they ever pick up the phone.
Every engagement starts with a 45-minute recorded conversation every two weeks. We send you a set of questions in advance. You talk naturally about your market, your experience, and your current thinking. From that conversation, we build three to four LinkedIn posts per week that reflect your voice accurately, because the material comes directly from you.
Every package includes profile optimisation, a content strategy built around your commercial goals, and a monthly performance report covering impressions, profile views, connection growth, and inbound signals. Higher-tier packages add newsletter writing, outreach management, and short-form video production from your recorded conversation.
The service is delivered entirely remotely. You do not need to travel to a meeting or adjust your schedule beyond the fortnightly recording call. See our LinkedIn personal branding service for the full breakdown.

No. Blueberry Media is based in Hungerford, Berkshire, around 376 miles from Edinburgh, and works with Edinburgh-based founders and directors entirely remotely. There is no local office and no local team; the service was never delivered in person to begin with.
LinkedIn personal branding doesn't depend on geography. It depends on understanding your voice, your sector and your buyers well enough to write like you, not like a template. That work happens over a recorded conversation and written briefs, not in person.
Most Edinburgh clients sit in financial services, fintech, and professional services, reflecting the concentration of those sectors around New Town and the West End, alongside creative and digital businesses based in Leith.
Pricing depends on scope, from ongoing content retainers to one-off strategy work, and doesn't change based on being in Edinburgh specifically. Get in touch with a sense of what you need and we'll give you a straight answer.
No. We start with an initial 90-day sprint, then move to monthly rolling with 30 days notice. No setup fees, no exit penalties, no minimum term.
