// Who you’ll work with

Marc Johnson — Founder & Creative Director

I’ve spent more than 20 years working in design and advertising, leading creative work for businesses including some of the UK’s biggest brands.

Over that time, I’ve learned that the strongest creative work rarely starts with an idea. It starts with understanding.
That thinking became Soul.

I spend a lot of my time listening, asking questions and helping businesses step outside their own thinking. Often, the challenge isn’t that the business isn’t good enough, it’s that the people they want to reach don’t understand it as clearly as they do.

My role is to find that clarity and turn it into branding, websites and communication that feel right for the business and make sense to the people choosing it.

Over the years, my work has been recognised through design and advertising awards, featured in creative publications and included in industry journals.

Why the name Soul?

The name came from a simple belief that good design and communication should feel human.
Businesses are built by people and chosen by people. The best brands understand that.
We listen, understand what matters and make creative decisions with purpose. That thinking has been part of Soul from the beginning.

// Quick Questions About Soul

What makes Soul Creative Agency different from other design agencies in Glasgow?

Soul starts by understanding the business before making creative decisions. We combine strategic thinking with clear, experienced creative direction, helping SMEs make the right decisions rather than simply producing something that looks good.

Which industries does Soul Creative Agency specialise in?

We have diverse experience across sectors including agriculture, construction, education, food & drink, health & beauty, technology, tourism, and more, adapting our strategic design to any market.

Who do you typically work with?

We work primarily with small and medium-sized businesses across the UK and Europe that want greater clarity in how they present, communicate and grow.

Do I need branding, a website, or both?

Not necessarily. It depends on what you already have and what isn’t working. Sometimes the brand needs attention first. Sometimes the existing identity is perfectly capable of supporting a new website. We’ll help you work out what actually needs to change.

Do you work with businesses outside the UK?

Yes.
Soul works with businesses across Europe, with a particular focus on Germany and southern Bavaria. We work remotely and provide branding, messaging, website and creative support for businesses looking to connect with English-speaking customers.

If you're ready to move beyond guesswork and build a brand that actually drives growth, we’d love to help.
