    An evidence-based creative agency for a digital world.A faster world.In the battle for attention brands are up against the explosion of channels, formats and choices, it’s harder than ever for clients to stay up-to-date and to know what will work.A brighter way.Our founders cut their teeth in high growth digital startups. Then we took that challenger mindset and designed Bright Signals from a blank slate. Different. Disruptive. An agency built for now, around four core pillars...Life experience required.The evidence is clear: creativity and originality are the antidotes to the low-attention age. Our response is to recruit for cognitive diversity and to foster an open culture of collaboration. This approach gives us more creative dots to join, which breeds more original ideas. No silos. No egos.Fail Small. Win big.We were one of the first agencies in the world to pioneer a more agile approach to marketing communication. We harness the instant feedback loop afforded by digital channels – real time ‘signals’ – that enable us to test, iterate and improve on risky fire-and-forget campaigns. Underpinning that is Bright Box, our approach to content customisation and rapid testing at scale. Less guessing. More progressing.Full funnel.We deploy sophisticated, connected integration across the full funnel. From broad-reach brand advertising, through to performance marketing, and on to conversion optimisation or other behavioural change. In between, we use machine learning to target and re-target. Matching messaging with audience intent. Right content, right person, right time.The obligatory awards bit.Since setting Bright Signals up we have won Scotland's most coveted digital marketing award more times than any other agency (5 golds, 4 silvers, in 6 years). As well as various other UK and international awards for advertising, integrated marketing, and social media.

In the context of creative direction and visual design I work very closely with Senior Digital Designers and other specialists, offering a combination of technical, creative and UX direction on a wide range of responsive web projects, motion graphics and film, online ads, social media campaigns and integrated marketing campaigns.
