Located on the East African island, Blue Amber Zanzibar is a residential and resort development that is recognized as a strategic investment project in Tanzania. With development planned in phases, the first phase focuses on residential real estate with several mid-range villas that are available to the market.  

In the build-up to the delivery of its first completed villa, which is scheduled for hand-over to its owner in December 2022, Blue Amber Zanzibar, has appointed Scout PR & Social Media as its lead agency. Scout has been tasked with building the brand internationally as a prime property investment opportunity. Scout will provide a 360-degree marketing approach encompassing engaging communications strategies and content across digital and traditional channels, as well as earned and paid media exposure values.

“We are extremely excited to have received this appointment. It marks the strength of Scout, our team’s in-house capabilities and our immersion in omnichannel delivery. We look forward to taking Blue Amber Zanzibar’s brand communications, visibility and desirability forward,” said Lauren Shantall, Director of Scout PR & Social Media.

Scout will leverage its expertise in PR and communications, digital paid strategies, social media, creative content and other marketing tools to build, execute and measure various campaigns.

“We were awarded PR and Social Media Agency of the year 2022 – South Africa at the Global Business Awards at the start of this year, and while this is an achievement, we aim to live up to that accolade and more, exceeding Blue Amber’s expectations,” she continues. “The Blue Amber team came to us because they wanted to centralise efforts and have these driven by an ambitious and goal-directed strategy that is geared for post-pandemic communications.”

Says Blue Amber Zanzibar CEO, Grant Anderson: “We have been given an opportunity to re-energise our proposition to the world, increase awareness and global investment. Scout’s team proved their passion and understanding of the industry. The Blue Amber Zanzibar team is fully confident that the agency will deliver just as we are delivering on the ground, with construction on our first villa nearing completion!”

 Scout officially commenced work on the Blue Amber Zanzibar account in May 2022. “I look forward to continuing the good work Scout has delivered over the past 9 years and to having my team join forces with the Blue Amber Zanzibar to promote their vision,” concludes Shantall.
