Ahhh new studio smell — right up there on the sniffometer with old books and freshly-brewed rocket fuel coffee in the morning. There’s been a lot of changes here at Casa MadeBrave, mainly because we have a new casa!
We’re all moved in! Come with us on a tour of our new home.
Yep, we’ve upped-sticks from Studio 6 in our beloved Albus building in Glasgow’s east end and moved all the way downstairs to an even bigger space. If you’ve been following along, you’ll know that we’ve been talking about this move for a while, but now we’re all settled in and it’s amazing.
So, apart from fewer stairs to climb (phew!) what’s new about our new studio?
Well, first of all, we now have more spaces to work as we want to—whether that’s at our desks, in the quiet room, or in the soundproof phone-pod for client calls. Plus, there are loads more meeting spaces, like our mahoosive workshop space (complete with neon lighting, of course), our ‘Amigos Without Egos’ room and plenty of other nooks and crannies for collaboration and ideas sessions.

Something we’ve always dreamed of here at MadeBrave is having our own events space—somewhere that we and our friends (that’s you lot) can host their own workshops, talks and launch parties. Now, after 8 years of graft, our events space is here and it’s even better than we imagined. Presentation? We’ve got a huge screen, sound system and lighting for that. Party? Grab a seat at our fully-stocked bar. Tasting event? Check out our state-of-the-art kitchen. In other words, our new event space has got everything you need.

This space is about creating a brand home for MadeBrave, where we can do even better work for our clients and give our creative community a space to come together.

Madebrave New Studio Launch Party Andrew Dobbie Talk“Our surroundings have such an impact on how we feel, especially if we spend 5 days a week there. Our previous studio was great (even though it was getting a little tight) but this new studio embodies everything MadeBrave’s about—inspiring creativity. So far the team are loving it and the reactions from clients and visitors have been priceless. I don’t think that’ll ever get old”
Andrew Dobbie, Our Founder
Our New Studio Launch Party!
It’s not like us to launch something without making a big noise, so, that’s exactly what we did. To say a huge ‘thank you’ to 250 of our clients, team members and friends, we put our events space to the test and hosted the party of all office parties. Working in collaboration with the insanely talented James White from Signalnoise, our ‘Back to the Future’-themed night had everything from motion design and wall murals, to augmented reality and creative technology (hey, we thought it would be a good time to show what we could do.)

It was great to stop and spend a moment to enjoy it all with everyone. As far as I know, we’re only here once. Remember to stop every so often and enjoy the journey.”
Andrew Dobbie
Thank you, thank you very much
Our party just so happened to take place two days before we turned eight. From a one-man-band, to a team of over 50 people, we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for our clients and all the people who have supported our journey. It means so much to all of us to have you along for the wild ride.
Also BIG high fives to our event partners who helped us create the most amazing, kick-butting-est launch party in MadeBrave history!
