Glasgow agency goes global with over half of revenue outside UK

MadeBrave, recently crowned Scotland’s Agency of the Year at the Marketing Society Awards, is celebrating a banner year marked by strong revenues and a strategic relocation to The Social Hub in Glasgow city centre, as the anchor tenant.

Fuelled by significant growth, MadeBrave reported an annual revenue of £6.4M, a 39% increase from the previous financial year’s £4.6M, with more than half of the agency’s revenue coming from the US and EMEA markets.

In the past 12 months, the creative brand agency has focused on an expanding client roster beyond the UK and has successfully attracted category-leading global brands, including VELUX, KPMG, and Pfizer.

The agency added that its move to The Social Hub aligns with MadeBrave’s ambitious global growth strategy, and further enhances the agency’s ability to connect internationally and drive further expansion, particularly in the healthcare, finance and FMCG sectors.

Andrew Dobbie, founder of MadeBrave, said: “Winning ‘Agency of the Year’ and moving into The Social Hub marks a significant new phase for MadeBrave. We’re always looking to evolve our working environment and practices and strive to lead the way.

“Our move to The Social Hub is a strategic decision that will allow us to leverage their 17 global locations to better serve our international client base while providing our team with greater flexibility, access to better amenities, and a vibrant creative community.”

Stephen Weir, financial director, added: “After an unpredictable period post-COVID, we’ve emerged stronger than ever. Our robust revenues signal a promising trajectory of sustained growth and stability, which is encouraging.

“With an eye on the future and a foothold in the global market, we hope to continue on this path of success – delivering creative excellence and value for our clients around the world, supported by our new partners and ‘home’, The Social Hub.”

MadeBrave is also currently expanding its team, welcoming a new client services director, project manager, and a new creative duo of art director and copywriter. The additional roles will further bolster the agency’s capacity to “deliver world-class branding and creative solutions to a diverse and growing global clientele.”
