  Brandfix - In the midst of a seemingly chaotic explosion of marketing channels, we can help find you a coherent brand message. Working with great planners to find a brand solution is without doubt the hardest, yet most rewarding part of the job. It has helped me produce some of my strongest, and most effective creative work throughout my career. So along with George Shepherd, our Brand Strategy Director, and my long time fellow Creative Director David Isaac, we've launched a unique strategy, planning and creative consultancy - Brandfix. We are a highly experienced team, that can work together with marketers, and their agencies, to produce a long term plan for the development of a successful brand, and ensure one consistent message across all the marketing channels.

Yellow M

• United States
• Hospitality

• Creative Director

  Set up Yellow M Scotland in Edinburgh and turned it into one of the most talked about agencies in the UK. Winning and working on accounts like Dunfermline Building Society, SPT, The Herald, Scottish Government, ScottishPower, Lendlease, Reg Vardy and most famously, The Conservative Party. An attempted MBO in 2001 uncovered a rather large trail of mismanagement and, with a heavy heart, the best of Yellow M left, to become Family.
