People. Partnerships. Progress.
Brace is a Gloucestershire digital marketing agency built on strong relationships, shared ambition and work that makes a genuine difference.
Since 2007, we have helped businesses grow through better marketing, stronger websites and creative thinking that brings people closer together.
We care about the results we deliver. We care just as much about how we deliver them.
Good Work Starts With A Good Relationship.
Behind every business is a group of people with ambitions, challenges and ideas of their own. Getting to know them is where our work begins.
We take the time to understand what makes a business different, what its customers value and where it wants to go next. That understanding shapes everything from the strategy and message to the website and campaigns supporting it.
It is not about forcing every client through the same process. It is about building the right relationship, bringing the right expertise together and creating work that feels true to the business behind it.
Good relationships make better work possible. Better work creates stronger businesses.
Built Here. Growing Together.
Brace began in Gloucestershire in 2007 as Brobuild, a bespoke web development company founded by two brothers who built websites. The name fitted the business perfectly at the time.
As our clients grew, their needs grew too. New people joined the team, bringing expertise across marketing, search, paid media, design, content and strategy. In 2018, Brobuild became Brace Creative Agency. The name changed. The family values did not.
Today, Brace is a connected team of specialists supporting organisations across Gloucestershire, throughout the UK and around the world, from professional services, technology and healthcare to ecommerce, education, manufacturing, property and the public sector. Some need a specialist to solve a particular challenge, others a complete marketing team across the whole customer journey. Our services have evolved because the businesses around us have evolved. That journey continues.
Brobuild Begins
Two brothers building bespoke websites for businesses in Gloucestershire.
Brace Is Born
A growing team and broader expertise led to a new name and a more complete creative and marketing offer.
One Connected Team
Specialists across strategy, search, paid media, content, creative, websites and CRO, working together around every client.
Open. Honest. In It Together.
The strongest relationships are built on trust, inside the business and out. We are open about what we are doing, why we are doing it and what the results actually mean. We share the thinking behind our recommendations, explain where budgets are going and talk honestly about what is working, what is not and what should change next.
That same openness shapes how we work as a team. Ideas are shared freely, questions are welcomed and people are trusted to take ownership of their work. Different perspectives make the work stronger, so everyone has a voice, regardless of their role or how long they have been with Brace. We learn from one another, step in when someone needs support and share responsibility for getting the best result.
The same spirit extends beyond the agency. We support local causes, bring businesses together and share our time and skills where they can make a difference. It is all part of being a team that cares about the work, the people and the community around us.
Clear From The Start
Straightforward scopes, agreed priorities and a shared understanding of what success looks like.
Open About Performance
Reporting that explains what happened, why it matters and what we recommend doing next.
Close To The Work
Direct access to the specialists planning, producing and improving your marketing.
Honest Advice
Recommendations based on what your business genuinely needs, even when that means changing or simplifying the plan.
Full transparency is not an added benefit. It is how a good partnership should work.
Real People Behind Every Project.
Brace brings together people with different skills, experiences and ways of thinking. Strategists work alongside developers. Paid media specialists share insight with designers. Search data informs content. Client conversations influence the work being produced.
You get the expertise the challenge needs, supported by a wider team that understands the plan. No faceless account structure. No work disappearing through layers of departments. Just experienced people taking ownership, sharing what they know and working towards the same goal.
The people making the decisions are the people doing the work.
Proud To Be Shortlisted.
We are proud to have been shortlisted across five categories at two of the region's leading business awards for 2026, recognition of our people, our culture and the work we do together.
One Cause. A Year Of Support.
Every year, the Brace team chooses a Charity of the Year and gets stuck in, providing fundraising, events and practical support. It is more than a one-off donation. It is a commitment that brings our team, clients, partners and wider business community together around a cause that matters.
That commitment does not stop when the year ends. Over time we have supported, and continue to support, charities including CCP, where Nick took on The Big Sleep Out, Linc, and ITSA Digital Trust, to which we donate our old equipment.
Supporting Sunflowers Suicide Support
Charity Of The Year 2026Sunflowers provides support for people who have been bereaved or affected by suicide. Its work helps individuals and families access guidance, practical resources and a community that understands what they are going through.
Throughout the year, we will be raising money and awareness to help Sunflowers continue that important work. So far the team has completed a 10k run and our annual charity golf day raised £6,134.62, with Josh set to take on a 15,000ft skydive later this year.
Partnerships With Purpose.
The partnerships and commitments we make reflect the standards we want Brace to uphold. They help us develop our expertise, support more people and remain accountable to something bigger than our own business.
Google Partner
As a Google Partner, Brace has demonstrated the platform knowledge and campaign expertise needed to help clients make more effective use of Google Ads. Our paid media team stays close to changes across the platform, including new campaign formats, measurement capabilities and AI-powered features.
The badge matters. The expertise behind it matters more.
Microsoft Partner
As a Microsoft Advertising Partner, our team is certified across the Microsoft Ads platform. We help clients reach audiences on Bing, Edge and the wider Microsoft Audience Network with campaigns built for measurable return.
It is a valuable channel that many businesses overlook, and one we use to open up new, cost-effective demand.
AdSmart From Sky
Through AdSmart from Sky, we help businesses run targeted television advertising that was once out of reach. Clients reach the right households with the impact of TV and the precision of digital targeting.
It brings the credibility of television to ambitious local and national businesses, backed by measurable results.
Armed Forces Covenant
Brace is proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant and to hold the Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award. It is our commitment to recognise the value that serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to businesses and communities.
