Andrew Dobbie

Founder/CEO, MadeBrave

I founded MadeBrave in 2012 when my son, fin, was just two weeks old with a last pay cheque of just over £1k in the bank. Thirteen years on, with no investors I've built a Global Brand & Creative agency that's rebranded FirstBusUK, a 500-person business for KPMG that was recently sold in a deal worth $1.1bn & delivered campaigns for brands like Medtronic, DIAGEO, VELUX, DXC, Bank of Scotland & Nestle. MadeBrave has been named Marketing Society Star Agency of the Year 24, Campaign Magazine's Best Places to Work & The Drum's Top 100 Independent Agencies.
