The new appointment will support clients from the central belt and service the south of the UK, providing the full complement of services. Mearns & Gill currently supports clients across the UK and in Norway.
Hailing from Glasgow, David joins the team with extensive creative marketing experience, having worked as a graphic designer for almost a decade.

Talking of his appointment, David says: “My move into business development plays to some of my softer strengths and an ability to build genuine and meaningful relationships with my clients and partners to generate success and solve problems. As an individual, the people around me drive, inspire, and strengthen me, bringing out the best in my performance. Therefore, I’m excited to join a positive, growth-focused, client-centric business.
"Since joining, it is apparent the team love what they do. I can’t wait to get going, working with the team and helping to support and expand M&G in the coming years.”
Mike Wilson, Managing Director comments: “The agency has seen significant growth since 2022, which has come from both existing and new clients and is a testament to the team we have in place in the Aberdeen office. We currently support clients across the UK and Europe, from Shetland to London to Norway.
"As a full-service agency, clients increasingly know that engaging with a single agency to assist across their brand, digital, web, advertising & PR and event needs makes sense.”
Mike continues: “We welcome David to the team. Having a permanent central belt staff member will enable us to develop further connections in the south and David has a strong existing network. We will continue making a difference in our client’s marketing activities and helping them reach existing and new audiences. We look forward to continued growth for Mearns & Gill in the years ahead.”
