Mindy knows how to get inside your head. In a good way. She soaks up all the information she can about your business, customers and culture. You’ll probably find her at your trade show or sales meeting. That means when she starts an annual report, website or newsletter, she writes like an insider.

When it comes to finances, you want an expert doing the heavy lifting. That’s Yolanda – real world bodybuilder and financial champion. She puts her MBA brain and muscled brawn to work by managing our bookkeeping.

Anant brings the world to everything he does. Yes, he’s worked in Singapore, India, London, Malaysia and the U.S. He’s a citizen of many disciplines: photography, videography, content development, web and social media analytics, with side trips into app development and research.

For over 20 years now I've enjoyed helping some of the biggest names in industry achieve their goals whilst helping small and medium enterprises grow to their full potential. We've worked with charities, locals governments and schools, those just starting out, as well as industry giants.

I am one of the longest serving team members here at Brace, starting back in 2011. My experience and knowledge have led to me over-seeing the team and making sure the cogs keep turning.

I have held a consistent interest in the theory of marketing since my preteen years and have spent my time working towards becoming an effective and all-around specialist in Digital Marketing.

I have over 7 years of professional Graphic Design experience with over one year at Brace. With a passion for art, graphics, branding and contemporary style, I love to design fresh and exciting projects.

I'm a developer and feel most at home when I'm knee deep in code.

Well what can I say; I’m the oldest member of the team and I didn’t even see it coming! I have been self-employed for most of my life and have done a vast number of different things at this time.

I am very happy to join Brace Creative Agency as a digital marketing apprentice. Having completed my A-levels, I decided that university wasn’t for me, so the next logical step was to find something that I would enjoy whilst developing useful skills for my future.

A Graphic Designer with twenty years’ experience in all aspects of design, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients; small start-ups to major corporations and famous brands. They all get the same care and attention from me.

I love the creative and social media side to marketing, which is what inspired me to start my apprenticeship with Brace. I am excited and looking forward to pursuing my career in the business!

Although my picture doesn’t show it; I’m a light-hearted guy who loves a good laugh- you can’t take life too seriously! My interest in problem-solving goes hand in hand with my job, I can’t get enough of it!

I have been with Brace since 2011. I have always enjoyed working with numbers which is why I decided to pursue a career in finance. I really enjoy walking and being outside in the fresh air as well as spending time with my family.

've been developing websites for over 5 years now and love both the technical and creative side of what I do. I've joined Brace for a university placement year as I believe it's the perfect environment to further develop my skills and take my work to the next level.

I'm passionate about design and photography and have 10 years experience in publishing and the world of digital. I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to the business and taking on new challenges!

I have gained 16+ years working within creative agencies have gained valuable experience working with a variety of industry sectors, B2B and B2C. A particular wealth of knowledge and skill in developing and growing clients, creative thinking, solutions and execution.

I am a busy mum of 2 meaning I need to be highly organised which is a trait I also bring to my job. I have worked as a media buyer, marketing manager and project manager, so I have the unique perspective of understanding marketing from a customer’s, client’s and business’ point of view.

On paper you could say I'm a typical nerd: I actually like maths; love to code; play video games and I watch anime all the time, the only thing I don't do is read books but that's only because I'm too busy reading manga! I plan to be the perfect mix of an athlete and computer science enthusiast.

I am Brace’s sales rep, with 20 years direct marketing experience. My number 1 priority is keeping our clients happy. I’m known as a bit of a James Bond enthusiast and there is no James Bond fact I don’t know. I even ask for my tea ‘Shaken Not Stirred!’

Joining the Brace team provides me with the opportunity to expand my knowledge, keep bang-up-to-date with the latest technologies and ultimately provide clients with the very best marketing solutions to meet their objectives.
