Hey, stop scrolling! 👋 I’m Andrew, Founder & CEO of MadeBrave® - a Global Strategic Brand Agency based in London, Edinburgh & Glasgow 🇬🇧.

But where did it all start? - My story!

🍼 💰 I left my job and founded MadeBrave with £1,000 of personal cash in the bank, when my son was just two weeks old – very brave, or perhaps naive? Luckily my bravery paid off.

Without investment we’ve grown into c.50 person strong > £6M Turnover leading strategic & creative brand agency proudly working with and trusted by global brand giants, like Nestle, Diageo, Medtronic, Hard Rock, Edrington, KPMG, Distell, IVC Evidensia, IBM, Google & more.

We’ve grown an aaaaaamazing team, bursting with creativity and we’re working on having the best culture EVER.

We’re also lucky to be growing fast in this challenging time (check out out careers page - we’re hiring!).

I believe hugely in purpose and values-driven brands and business. But, values and purpose alone don't build brands—people do. And together, you’ve got to put those values into action.

I’m also extremely passionate about creating the most flexible and best company culture I can. Life’s all about the balance of work and life! And I want to lead the way making that a reality and the norm for businesses. After all, we’re usually at work more than we are at home - let’s enjoy it!

We’ve recently won:

🏆Campaign Best Places to Work WINNER 2020

🏆The Drum top 100 Independant agencies 2019

I’m also the host of: ‘Just a Chat With...’ 🔈

A video podcast talking Brand & Creativity with the world’s best in class.

Episode 21 is Live: I sit down with Kevin Pike, Special Effects Supervisor (he built the Delorean in Back to the Future, and painted the shark in Jaws! How amazing is that?)

Watch on YouTube, or listen on Spotify, Google Podcasts.

I’m also hosting weekly Clubhouse branding rooms helping people with branding challenges they have (follow me for more details!).

Aaaaaaaanyway! Thanks for stopping by. I’ve learnt loads along the way on my business journey and I’m very keen to share my knowledge and pass on whatever I can.

Follow me for tips on growing a successful brand, culture and business 🚀

This world belongs to the brave!

Give me a shout if you want me moderating in your room. I’ll bring high energy and enthusiasm 👏
