A heartfelt thanks to Jamie Hodgson and everyone who attended the second episode of The Business Playbook LIVE podcast at in Edinburgh last night. Special thanks to Jason Clarkson & the team for looking after us so well.

It's so great to be back out talking and doing real-life events - my second this week!

The opportunity to connect with fellow creatives and entrepreneurs was truly inspiring! There's an undeniable energy in being surrounded by like-minded, driven people. And for me, These events always seem to arrive just when I need a boost of optimism, so thank you for that!

If you find yourself free around lunchtime today, you can join me as I chat with on his LIVE audio event, The Creator Journey, at 12 pm

It's been six weeks and just like that the Creator Accelerator Programme has come to an end.

My main aim was wanting to give as much value as I could, by sharing my experience growing a strategic brand & creative agency from the ground up…

The story of how I found my own brave!

There was a lot to cover, but if we had to distill the six weeks into six points…

🔥 Finding your brave is where the magic happens.

📖 The stories you tell should be the ones at the very heart of who you are and what you believe in.

🧠 Find a mentor who has a completely different skillset to you.

❤️ You’d rather have a 100 people who love your brand, than 1,000 people who like it.

🦹‍♂️ Find your superpower (and your kryptonite)

⚡️ Even if you think you don’t, everyone has an element of creativity within them.

It’s been great to connect with so many of you and no doubt our paths will cross again soon 🤜💥🤛

I’m over the moon to have been accepted onto the first class of Creators taking part in Accelerator Programme here in the UK.

Over the next 6 weeks with support from the LinkedIn team I’ll be sharing even more content about my experience growing a business and all things brand & creative.

Letting you know all the things I wish I knew when I started out.

Let’s go 🚀

Feeling extremely lucky to be celebrating 16 years married to the amazing

Nothing beats the energy you find in a room full of startup founders 🤩

Last night, I spoke at in the new building, and not only was it a great event, but an inspiring one.

The positive energy and can-do attitude was electric, and I’m pretty confident that Scotland’s in safe hands with the next generation of entrepreneurs.

A huge thank you to Emma Loedel for organising it 👏

🤩 10 YEARS OF MADEBRAVE, RAVE STYLE 🤩

Friday night we took over Platform (formerly, the famous Arches) in Glasgow and got our rave on with music from legendary vinyl spinsmith Jeremy Healy, as well as Glasgow’s own top DJ talents All U Need and Error E 😎

And boy, it was a good one!

Growing MadeBrave, I never want to be the guy who grew a business and didn't have fun along the way.

And yes, we did have fun! Lots of it!

Having all the MadeBravers, clients, friends & family under one roof to celebrate 10 years of that little business I started in 2012 was emotional, to say the least.

To everyone who's supported us over the last decade, thank you! We've got so much more to give and I can't wait to see what the next decade will bring 🚀

Now, who's ready for round 2? 🕺🏻

A great afternoon spent playing with ‘s new 🌲🏍

🙂

✌️

Great to be out talking in person to real humans this week. First at on Tuesday followed by in Edinburgh today.

Glad to be back out in the wild! Looking forward to many more talks in 2022

New Haven, CT (Yale) 🇺🇸

What a way to start our morning - With a 5k round Central Park with the legend Joe Wicks! 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️

Off out for the opening night ceilidh in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇸

Look who I bumped into whilst in NYC…

I met AKA The Kilted Yogi at the Opening Ceremony of Tartan week 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You may recognise him from his iconic yoga poses across the Scottish landscape, which has shot him into fame over the past few years and gained him over 100 million views!

It’s always great to meet fellow Scots along the road trip, and I’m thrilled that our Scottish culture has been so welcomed over here in the States 🇺🇸

We’ve still got a week to go so who knows what else to expect 😳

✌️😎✌️

Road trip from Miami > Everglades > Key Largo > Key West > Next stop New York!

For the last few days, you would have seen the Florida Trade Mission that I’m embarking on.

Well, there’s something I haven’t been telling you.

All this time I’ve been training with the Falcon 9 crew for today’s SpaceX collab launch at Cape Canaveral!

Keeping this a secret has not been easy, but I’m over the moon (if you’ll pardon the pun) to finally announce this to the world.

I first met Elon through the podcast and now I’m so proud to be working alongside him and the SpaceX team on this brave new project. Today we’ll be making history by running the first brand strategy session from orbit.

Launch is at 12:14 PM EST. Link in bio

Standard traffic jam in Miami 😮

Been getting up really early. Firstly, because I can’t sleep as my body hasn’t adjusted to the time zone yet, but also because look at THAT light 😍🌴🌊

Not coming home. 🇺🇸

Today is Day 1 of The Brave Roadtrip 🇺🇸

For the next 3 weeks, I'll be in the USA on a trade mission with Scotland to explore new markets that we can tap into and drive the recovery of COVID19.

I'm thrilled to be representing Scotland with some of the country's most exciting entrepreneurs, making it known that we are well and truly open for business again.

See you on the other side ✈️

First stop Miami 🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My first in-real-life talk since 2019!

This afternoon, I was interviewed by at the event by Scottish Enterprise.

We covered culture, leadership and what growing a successful brand looks like today in front of an audience of startup entrepreneurs.

My biggest piece of advice?

Your culture doesn’t have to suffer as a result of the pandemic.

You can continue to build an amazing one, with a post-pandemic world providing a golden opportunity to create an even better one than you had before. One that is built with inclusion, sustainability and mental wellness front of mind.

Thank you for the warm welcome, it felt great to be back 🙌🏻

The Jeep has arrived!

In less than 10 days, I begin my 3-week adventure across the USA 🇺🇸

Something I've aptly called, The Brave Roadtrip.

Miami → Florida Keyes → New York → Connecticut → Minneapolis 

To get me from A to B (and to C, D & E), I've got my very own Jeep Wrangler that happened to turn up to the MadeBrave office today 🙃 So it only felt appropriate to put our mark on it, right?

Also, to all my connections Stateside, I still have some time to meet brave CMO's or Marketing Directors that want to bring bravery into their lives and brands.

Let me know who I should be meeting 👇 I promise to bring the scotch 🥃

Ever wanted to know how a brand agency scales?

I recently sat down with for the last episode of The Entrepreneurial podcast 🎙

We spoke about the journey and how it went from nothing to the international agency we see today.

And with a few tips thrown in for good measure 😉

You can listen to the full episode through the link in my bio

A few weeks ago I posted about my garden Home Office bothy on LinkedIn it went crazy. 2.6M views crazy.

I really believe that the environment you work in has such a big impact on the work you create, the energy you feel and can do great things for your overall well-being.

At we're all working in a hybrid approach, so we’re always looking for new and innovative ways to blend the real-life and virtual worlds.

Introducing our new office pod...

We were the first company in Scotland to get one and it's perfect 😍

Do you agree that your work environment has a big impact on the work you produce?

2011, on the 3rd of August...Fin, my son, was born.

2011, on the 21st of August...I went freelance.

2012, on the 1st of March...I incorporated MadeBrave®.

2022, on the 1st of March...MadeBrave turns 10!

What started a decade ago, with just £1K in the bank and our 2-week-old son, has turned into one of my proudest achievements.

Starting a business isn't an easy ride, but I'm incredibly proud of everything we've achieved over the last 10 years years. Because without investment, we've grown into a 60+ people strong leading strategic and creative brand agency.

This is also a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way. From clients to fellow industry peers and of course the beautiful we wouldn't be here without you and we're grateful for that 🙏

This is only the beginning of our birthday celebrations and I can't wait to show you what we've got coming up. 👀

And who knows what the next 10 years will have in store for us 🚀

From behind a desk, to in front of a camera...

A great morning filming with team and the content team.

Some exciting content coming soon 👀 👀

Well done - What a show, and what a story. Be proud and enjoy the fruits of your hard work. I have a feeling you are just getting started! Inspired 🙏

Heading off to work… 🔥😍

Incredible cloud formations ☁️

In love with my new bothy studio setup for recording and home working 😍

I’m not leaving ever 🌲🔥🙏
