Counsel to agencies
Whilst the majority of my work is acting as direct Brand Counsel to clients, I have worked on the brands or the clients of a number of impressive agencies:
Lewis Moberly: One of the world’s most highly rated design studios for luxury packaging and brand identity, working with founder and CD Mary Lewis
Pentagram: The World’s largest, independent design studio, with Design Partner, John Rushworth in London
Studio LR : Purpose-led design consultancy
Radish: B2B tech agency, supporting high growth clients to Break New Ground
‘Mark is a rare breed, commercially astute, strategically provocative but also clever and curious and it’s that this connects him quickly and productively to creative people.
He truly loves design and has a real empathy with it. He’s imaginative with the confidence and experience to stay grounded.
Mark is a man of words too, a copy craftsman and skilled communicator.
He shares and enjoys the rigor that drives my work, first as a client, then recently as a consultant. He’s true to himself in both roles.So expect to be challenged and nicely put through your paces’

'The closest description I can think to what Mark does is 'alchemy'.
His workshop provide a whole new perspective; he can take a confused proposition and transform it into a powerfully articulated strategy capable of capturing market loyalty.
