CREATIVE TALK
with the support of Blanc 1664

Andrew Dobbie, 43, is a creative entrepreneur and CEO of MadeBrave – a Strategic Brand & Creative agency based in Glasgow and London – recently named Agency of the Year by Marketing Society Scotland.

A true creative at heart, Andrew began his career as a designer and photographer after studying Multimedia Systems at the University of the West of Scotland. Now considered one of the UK’s leading branding experts, Andrew believes strongly in brands that live their purpose and that the best brands are built from the inside-out.

Since launching MadeBrave in 2012 on a shoestring budget of just £1000 when his son, Fin, was just two weeks old, Andrew has grown MadeBrave into a multi-million-pound global agency – creating award-winning work for many of the world’s leading brands, including Nestle, Medtronic, Pfizer, Diageo, Hard Rock Hotels, First Group Plc, VELUX and KPMG.

Andrew believes that through driving a positive workplace culture, exceptional work is born. This philosophy has led to numerous award wins for MadeBrave, including Campaign’s Best Places to Work award and a ranking on The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For List in the UK.

In addition to running MadeBrave, Andrew is well known for presenting a monthly podcast, ‘Just A Chat With’, celebrating best-in-class creativity from around the world.

When he’s not helping brands find their brave, Andrew can be found at home, making TikToks with his son Fin on their father-son page @EntertainingDad (which recently caught the attention of Will Smith) or honing his electric guitar skills with his French Bulldog, Astro, by his side.
