Mark ThomsonClient Service Director

Mark’s family is rightly proud of its distinguished heritage in the Scottish textile industry, so it was a bitter disappointment for them when he fell into the London advertising industry. After much soul searching it was agreed that it would be a passing fad and he’d soon return to a respectful career in fully fashioned knitwear.

17 years on and the fad has most definitely evolved into a vocation.

Mark began his career in 90’s ad heartland – Soho, learning the ropes at GGT followed by TBWA, Lowes, Saatchi & Saatchi and then the agency formally known as Claydon Heeley. He honed his skills at a new breed of integrated agencies and was rewarded with a wealth of award winning campaigns for the Guardian, PlayStation and Selfridges.

In 2007 Mark leapt at the opportunity to join the much respected Shoreditch upstart Albion London, and now runs the team on Skype and heads-up Albion’s client services.

While he has turned his back on the family business, he has not forgotten his past and is the proud owner of a healthy range of knitwear apparel.
