Throughout his career, Ken McEwen’s focus has been on communications and media. He started with the Press and Journal, became press officer at the Aberdeen City Council, moving to NESDA, before founding his own PR company.
When he moved to Kintore, in 1999, the town was perceived, in some quarters, as simply a “dormitory town” for Aberdeen. Ken saw the web and social media as way to correct this image and project Kintore as the truly vibrant community it is, with a strong history and heritage.
He set up the kintore.org.uk website, followed by the Kintore Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram. After 20 years of running them as a free service to Kintore, ownership was transferred to Kintore and District Community Council in 2021.
Ken served as vice chairman and acting chair of Kintore and District Community Council between 2019 and 2021 – a period which included adapting to the pandemic and switching meetings to online.
Ken is a trustee with local charity Action Kintore, who run The Bothie youth organisation and are working to bring the Town House back into use for the community.
