Marcus is a brand strategist and the Co-Founder of Single Thread, with 25 years of experience as an operator launching businesses from dining to hotels. Drawing on his HND from Lincoln College of Art and Design, he helps founders build strong brand foundations to avoid competing on price.

His career is deeply rooted in the hospitality industry, having founded and managed food and beverage concepts in the UK and Ghana. This hands-on experience as an operator, rather than an "agency guy, " directly informs his strategic approach to branding and business growth.
