Mark

Founder & CEO WE ARE Spectacular (ex Head of Marketing at Pret a Manger & YO! Sushi).

Mark has 15 years experience in brand, marketing, digital, social and PR. He started life at the British music magazines (marketing them to students), then worked in agencies back in 2002 before jumping the fence to work client side at lastminute.com where he rose to European Head of Brand, then moved to senior brand and marketing positions at Barclaycard, YO! Sushi, Blinkbox Music & Pret A Manger. Tired of costly large full service agencies, Mark wanted to create a new wave agency, solely made up of senior experts that had the depth of knowledge and agility clients need, so he founded WE ARE Spectacular to do just that. WE ARE Spectacular specialise in branding creation, development, marketing of the brand, digital/social media strategy and execution plus headline grabbing, business building PR. Since starting in January 2013, WE ARE Spectacular have worked with many food, beverage and coffee clients including Fuller's Inns and Hotels, Costa, SSP (Upper Crust, Caffe Ritazza, Millie's Cookies and Camden Food Co.), Drake & Morgan, Harris & Hoole, Tesco Cafe, BaxterStorey and newer businesses such as Bunnychow, Angela Malik, Bumpkin, Chilango and POD to name a few.

From originating iconic brand identity and packaging for Irn Bru, Fuller's Brewery to high street brand Ed's Easy Diner and creating his own millennial hotel brand ROOST, Eddie is the perfect fit to create and evolve your brand.
