Meet our team of really, really, ridiculously good-looking creative specialists, digi whizz-kids and experts of the ol’ Blue Steel.
Andrew founded MadeBrave with £1,000 of personal cash and a 2-week old baby – very brave and as everyone knows, bravery always pays off. A Photographer & Graphic Designer by trade, he has 18 years’ experience in the creative industry. He runs the show with a keen eye on all creative output.
Stephen is so punctual we think he may be able to time-travel! With over 24 years’ experience in the industry, Stephen looks after us and our clients to help the business run super efficiently. He’s a whizz with numbers and every day he looks like he’s walked out a men’s tailoring catalogue.
As our Commercial Director, Raymond’s out and about, scoring new clients for us here at MadeBrave®, which suits him rather well considering he used to be a pro-footballer (now that’s something we didn’t expect!) After hanging up his boots, he worked with an agency for 10 years before joining Team MadeBrave® – welcome to the club!
Find someone who talks about you, the way Hannah talks about food. Hannah is the definition of a true MadeBraver having had 3 different roles within the business. When she’s not creating food envy in the kitchen or hogging the karaoke machine, she can be found leading the development of our team and employee experience as Learning & Development Manager. She’s a real people person and is happiest when she’s helping others reach their goals. Aww!
Our resident American, Keenan has more marketing experience than you can shake a stick at—so like ten years. He also knows a thing or two about branding, which is lucky for us since he’s in charge of making the MadeBrave brand the strongest, shiniest, and butt-kicking-est in the agency biz.
Jude heads our account team and when Jude isn’t ensuring client happiness, she is busy making sloe gin and upcycling old furniture. Yes, at the same time.
Julia is responsible for being the voice of our clients in the office, working in tandem with the different teams to deliver campaigns that get results. A huge Coronation Street fan (not even joking), Jules is an old school arcade gamer although she’s beatable if you bribe her with salt and vinegar Pringles…
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Account Man-ager! We reckon our Euan looks a bit like Superman, which makes sense considering he has super client-pleasing powers. Doing everything with laser-precision, his only kryptonite is good hair wax (and beef tacos).
Supporting our team of account directors and managers, liaising with clients and all departments internally, ‘Rhi’ is one busy gal! Which would make her favourite superpower of telekinesis very handy indeed. Instead, for now, you’ll see her running (and maybe tripping) around the office, keeping the accounts team on the right track.
When you have to direct a team of designers you need to share your inner creative thoughts. Our very own teuchter chatty man has no problems doing just that, leaving our designers’ ears raw and their brains full. A master of branding, his design knowledge is always ready to be tapped into.
When it comes to style, Brian ranges from ‘Peaky Blinders’ to ‘This is England’ (and sometimes that’s just in one day). But despite his sartorial switcheroo, there’s one thing guaranteed with our resident vintage-loving Essex lad – his wordy knowledge is always top notch, innit.
The Pelosiraptor (what, it’s a real dinosaur!) has one goal in life, to make the world a prettier place, one job at a time. Specialising in both photography and design, he forms a dynamic duo with fellow senior designer, Jade. An avid gamer, he’ll beat you at Mario Kart. Every time.
Most likely wearing headphones and killing every project she lays her cursor on – it’s no wonder we call Jade ‘The Silent Assassin’. With over 10 years experience in branding, retouching and packaging design, she’s a sucker for detail and a walking-talking font encyclopedia. Her only weakness? Sweeties (especially space bacon – otherwise known as those fizzy rainbow belts).
Emma has all the magic skills, a bit like that Emma that was Hermione in Harry Potter. But she’s less magic with a flying broomstick and wand and more magic with a Mac, Adobe Creative Suite and her design brain. And she’s pretty nifty on the VR machine too, watch out for flying arrows!
Shell, Meech, Meechpee, the number of nicknames Michelle has is quite startling! But nothing amazes us more than her skill at illustrations, retouching, and all things design — just stick some Hanson on and watch her go!
Craig oversees all of the digital output, as well as pushing the team to try new things and raise the bar. In fact, ‘raising’ is something poker loving Craig is particularly good at! Whether it’s seeing clients, giving talks, or helping the team out on projects, Craig is certainly the ‘ace in our digital deck’!
Juggling all things digital and keeping all of the plates spinning, Kirsty ensures the jobs get done. On time. On budget. ‘Nuff said. As green fingered as Alan Titchmarsh, she’s never happier than when tending to the ‘jungle’ in her flat, with cup of joe in hand.
You’ll often find our Lewis (otherwise known as King Louie) geeking out in the Apple store or getting his weekly fix of Dungeons and Dragons. The rest of the time, you’ll find him coding up a storm and creating awesome sites for our clients, all while tending to his desktop lemon trees (they’re coming on a treat).
Some of us don’t know JavaScript from jam, thankfully Fraser does (you can’t get strawberry flavoured JavaScript — yet). A talented developer who beavers away on awesome websites for our clients and is responsive to the team’s random questions and demands. Like what we did there?
Using a dash of science, and a dollop of insight, Emma heads up our marketing department, and creates campaigns and activities that push the boundaries. So, right up our street then! ‘BB’ (because having three Emmas isn’t confusing in the slightest) also has an interesting tale about trekking in the Amazon … ask her about it over a wee dram!
Heather made the brave (see what we did there?) decision to change career paths, and went back to University to study a Masters in marketing. Heather now finds herself responsible for ‘keeping MadeBrave’s wheels turning with awesome content and straight-up terrible banter’ (her words and honestly, we couldn’t have put it better ourselves).
Hot saucing loving Rachel is hot stuff at anything social, from figuring out what platform is right for you, to creating content that gets eyeballs and engagement, and when it comes to paid social media, she knows her CPC’s from her CTR’s, and is as much of a fan of a spreadsheet as she is Instagram.
BMXing, skateboarding, Hip Hop loving ‘Cammy’ must be the coolest marketing executive this side of, well, Scotland — at least! Involved in day-to-day marketing activities and helping on client campaigns, Cameron is a digital enthusiast with an eye for social content.
