AN IDEA
TAKES SHAPE.



Discovery Mill began with a simple observation: talent and

good ideas exist everywhere, but opportunity doesn't always find them.

At the same time, businesses are looking for fresh perspectives and more flexible ways to access strategic marketing and creative thinking.

Discovery Mill began with a return to something familiar.


I grew up in Dundee — a city with making and reinvention woven through it — before a career in marketing took me into businesses, brands and different parts of the world including London and Dubai.


Along the way, I began to notice a disconnect. Businesses needed access to fresh strategic marketing and creative thinking, while talented people with ideas, perspective and ability didn't always have the networks, visibility or opportunity to show what they could do.
