Bruntwood Presents

Emma catches up with Gary Jenkins, co-founder of No-Brainer as he reflects on his journey of starting up a PR, online and digital agency.  During his career in PR, Gary struggled to find an agency that combined all three disciplines, so he set out to provide this service himself. Together with his business partner, Lee Cullen, they have developed an approach which focuses on understanding the client’s business in order to develop stories which resonate with target audiences and deliver results. Their growing team are based over at Bruntwood Work’s Wilderspool Park in Stockton Heath, Warrington.
