Andrew Dobbie is a director of MadeBrave, an award-winning brand-led digital creative agency based in Glasgow.

Andrew started MadeBrave back in 2012 when he left his job in the middle of the recession as a Creative Director at another agency with just £1,000 of personal cash in the bank and a newborn baby at home.

Four and a half years on, there is team of 25 people (and growing) and a client roster including the likes of Muller UK & Ireland, Sky, IBM and Beam Suntory, to name a few.

He also contributes, as much time as possible to motivational speaking. Earlier this year, he was selected to visit Silicon Valley with the Cross Creative programme, which introduces Scottish Entrepreneurs to global tech giants, including Facebook, Twitter, Xamarin and Pixar.

Most recently, the firm has opened an office in London, taking a space in the capital’s Shoreditch to broaden the client roster throughout the UK. However, building the Scottish business community plays a massive part in our values, which is why they have partnered with the likes of TEDxGlasgow, Scottish EDGE, Kiltwalk and Pedal for Scotland, to name a few.
