About us

We are John Brown, the world's leading independent branded content agency. We help brands engage with their customers by creating effective, award-winning branded content across all platforms. We’ve been leaders in the content marketing industry since 1987, and today we devise inspirational and hard-working communications for many of the best-known brands in Britain and far beyond.

On the print side, our magazine, catalogue and brand comms teams produce just about every conceivable type of publication. We’re just as adept at creating large-pagination catalogues and monthly lifestyle magazines as we are at crafting niche, bespoke, highly targeted brochures or conceptual pieces. We win awards for our flagship magazines, staff publications and stakeholder reports as well as our retail catalogues, for our impeccably glossy brochures and our kids’ magazines.

Our digital teams design and build websites, shoot and edit video, create ingenious desktop and mobile apps, plan and execute SEO and behaviour-growth strategies, and help world-famous brands engage their customers through social media channels – from existing platforms like Twitter and Facebook to bespoke hubs for interaction and crowdsourced content, and from risk mitigation to monitoring ROI. In fact they are usually working a combination of all of these things.

Whatever the platform, our work is always utterly distinctive and powered by a passion for the very highest standards in editorial and design coupled with top-drawer account management and smart thinking.

We have offices in London, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo, and a network of partner agencies in Turkey, Poland and France.

Ideas. Creativity. Insight. Service. Quality. Results.

That’s us in six words.
