Clients
McEwan-Purvis does not disclose its clients on its website. Indeed it notes that 'McEwan Purvis' staff are experienced at handling sensitive issues and confidential information. Keeping pre-launch campaigns under wraps is familiar territory, as is working on market and politically sensitive projects.

We have wide experience of planning, co-ordinating and implementing product and campaign launches and working on competition cases - all of which require the greatest sensitivity and discretion.'

Nevertheless, it leaves traces on the web. Among its clients are:


 * Raytheon (Arms manufacturer - makers of the bombs dropped by the US on the Baghdad market in March 2003).
 * Royal Pharmaceutical Society (Scottish branch).
 * Royal Society of Chemistry.
 * Association for Science Education in Scotland.
