Glen originally founded Taylor James in London as a boutique high end photographic retouching studio. Partnering with leading advertising photographers, the studio created award winning print ads with global automotive clients including Audi, BMW, Honda, Toyota, Volvo, Lincoln, GMC, Citroen, Peugeot. Taylor James established a reputation for obsessive attention to detail, new methodologies and brought intense photo-realism to every image.Glen strategically led the growth of the business by offering highly creative, time efficient and process -driven marketing whilst integrating multi-disciplines to produce innovative work across multi-channel content. Recognizing the efficiencies of end-to-end production for increased creativity, cost efficiencies and brand guardianship, Glen expanded Taylor James’ CGI, Live-action, Design and animation departments and relaunched in 2007 as a ‘Creative Production Studio’. He strove to challenge conventional thinking by bringing new production philosophies to traditional advertising agencies.In 2012, Glen left London to establish a second office in New York City. His mission was to build an innovative studio focused on these new principals of integrated production. As CEO, he put in place key business strategies to build a full-service production house that combined new workflows and allowed creativity to flourish. NYC was key to establishing a company culture of creative innovation, teamwork and solutions focused problem-solving. Together the two offices developed key production workflows and pipeline efficiencies to support each other’s scheduling downtimes focusing on EMEA and N. America.Revenue and profit grew year on year, and in 2014 the process of preparing the business for acquisition began. This new objective required a corporate restructure of the business, including re- organization and implementation of many strategic decisions to position the business correctly to be attractive for prospective buyers.

Following the sale of Taylor James to Williams Lea Tag, Glen joined the WLT of The Americas and became Managing Director of Taylor James globally.Additionally, Glen was tasked with reinvigorating Smoke and Mirrors’ US operation. He undertook a complete restructure of S&M and integrated both TJ and S&M into their new corporate climate and ownership. This helped the previously ailing division to show profit in the first 9 months.During this period, Glen also implemented a huge expansion to establish off-shore capabilities. He managed full-service production pipelines for the WLT group whilst simultaneously growing the network of TJ offices to bring together 5 offices (LA, Mex, NYC, Lon, Paris) under one consistent global group workflow and reporting lines. Looking to the future, Glen established an ‘Emerging Technology dept’ in early 2019 to drive innovation into real-time productions, and developing new digital channels.
