WORK HISTORY
Managing Director @Bravedog
We’re the team that shows up, asks the hard questions to bring ideas, opinions and clarity to chaos. Based in Swindon, we work with business owners, marketers and pioneers helping them shape up, reach further, take on giants and win.We began our creative journey as kids - building Lego spaceships, drawing, colouring, making. That instinct for invention still shapes us today.We opened Bravedog in 2012, the year London hosted the Olympics and PM Cameron famously left his daughter in a pub. Ever since then, we’ve been working with the brakes off - doing what we do, sticking to our guns, and armed with the kind of experience and expertise you only gain through graft and the trust we’ve earned.

SKILLS
ABOUT NICK PRESCOTT
I\'m a dedicated, proven operator and visionary with over 25 years of experience in creating and building brands.Bravedog, the agency I founded, creates and re-thinks branding and websites for companies, products and places. We nailed our first gig in 2012, the year London hosted the Olympics, and PM Cameron famously left his daughter in a pub! But I\'ve been \'in creativity\' since building alien spaceships with Lego and drawing stuff as a kid. My art teacher advised me not to take GCSE Art. Pah!(I\'m sure she meant well).Not one to be discouraged, I\'ve spent the last three decades working in design, helping brands to be better, more relevant, more confident, more viable and more loved. You get an indescribable feeling when you create something new from scratch or fix a broken business through its brand. The team and I love being tested to dream up brilliant solutions. And I\'ve always been responsibly irresponsible in how I think and do - it\'s better for clients when we work with the brakes off.The cork-popping moments stay with you, like transforming how Virgin Atlantic did in-flight menus. Saving them bazillions in printing, weight and fuel. Growing a huge football programme publishing business and launching a world-first digital ticketing platform for fishing. Going into business with Gordon Ramsay and his father-in-law (long story). Turning down a dragon (sorry James). Giving Dick and Angel the tools to grow brand Chateau. And a lifetime of other creative adventures like these that shaped and changed possibilities for people like you and me. It\'s not always been good. After making some poor choices, I went bankrupt in 2007 and had to sell our lawnmower to buy food. The grass went berzerk, but we ate, and I learned lessons you won\'t find in a prospectus. That taught me what\'s important. We eventually lost the house along with its long grass, but I bounced back. You don\'t do that on your own. Guts and resilience only get you so far. If nobody loves you, you\'re screwed. Where next? Forwards. Always forwards. I\'ve got one or two ideas swimming around, clients to help and things I want to do before I get old, so watch this space. If you need help with getting from where you are, to where your brand can win, call me on 07•••••••95 or visit bravedog.co.uk
