Next Generation Lead Partner Burness Paull has championed Scottish Ballet since 2019, sharing strategic storytelling and bespoke experiences with their extensive network of clients and connections. As the relationship has grown and developed, the alignment of our core values has been integral to our success.

As our first ever Photography Partner in 2019, Burness Paull used Scottish Ballet’s iconic imagery to enhance their brand identity. The success of this led to a prolific three-year Innovation Partnership. Our natural synergies and mutual desire to push boundaries evolved our relationship even further, with Burness Paull becoming Scottish Ballet’s Next Generation Lead Partner in 2024.

The multi-year partnership supports Scottish Ballet’s Next Generation initiative, investing in talent to transform the future of dance. This mirrors Burness Paull’s strategy of inspiring the next generation of leaders and offers extensive opportunities for brand alignment, client entertainment, and bespoke events.

In the first year alone, the Next Generation alignment has come to life through a range of high profile activations from Scottish Ballet — Twice-Born, The Nutcracker, and an exciting photography for dance mentorship, the first of its kind.

Our partnership is one that continually aims to evolve, challenge and inspire. As trailblazers in our respective industries, challenging the status quo, and embracing creativity, together we are implementing future thinking to deliver results and stand out from the crowd.
