Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) has announced the latest phase of its ongoing When You Know, You Know marketing activity, a health and wellbeing-focused campaign Make it a Strong Start with Scotch, which will launch in January 2026. Perfectly timed to align with New Year’s resolutions, the campaign highlights the important role of Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamb and Specially Selected Pork in a healthy, balanced diet.

The campaign, which is set to reach 76% of all adults in Scotland, will appear across multiple broadcast and digital channels including STV, STV Player, Sky Regional, digital audio and YouTube. Additional activity includes six-sheet posters in PureGym and David Lloyd locations, Facebook and Instagram activity, and other highly targeted digital ads served to audiences as they browse online. The campaign blends practical nutritional advice, recipe ideas and information about the essential nutrients provided by red meat - such as protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12 - which support normal bodily functions, energy and overall health.

For the second year running, Aberdeen-based nutritionist, author and influencer Scott Baptie will return to Scottish TV screens and social media. His social series, A Strong Start with Scott, will provide short, engaging content with practical, relatable tips for nutritious meat-based dinners and easy, wholesome meals that everyone can enjoy. Recipes will include a Scotch Beef Buddha Bowl, Speedy Scotch Lamb Wraps and a Teriyaki Specially Selected Pork Crispy Rice dish.

Emma Heath, Director of Marketing at Quality Meat Scotland, commented: “We are continuing to build on the momentum of our previous campaigns and inspire more people to enjoy the benefits of Scotch Beef, Scotch Lamb and Specially Selected Pork as part of a balanced diet. This campaign celebrates not just the exceptional taste and quality of our brands, but also their nutritional value, helping people start the year as they mean to go on.

“January is about starting strong - there’s no place for extremes or fads. Fast fixes don’t last, but strong starts do. The Scotch brands sit at the heart of balanced, real-food choices that can power new habits. They’re a confident, natural protein to build from, with the added benefits of being locally sourced, quality assured and farmed with care”.
