Driven by our culture

Maggie Croft
Managing Director

Maggie is passionate about the power of communication genuinely believing that ‘our work matters’, and that it can, and does, make a positive difference to lives. With a love of reading, and a pretty unbelievable commute, she credits Donald Katz with transforming her life!

Stuart Gilmour
Executive Creative Director

Stuart’s lack of ego is the always the first thing our new clients notice. A brilliant listener – our clients love him. A passion for vinyl cover design, Halki (the only place he ever goes on holiday!), Saturday Kitchen, Whisky and craft beer (says it all!)

Paul Lambert
Head of Stand Amsterdam

Paul is a lot of things… he’s been at Stand from the beginning, he lives in the Netherlands, Hij spreekt een beetje nederlands, he’s ‘Shinnichi’, he’s been a movie star and a singer, and he thinks that a t-shirt is perfectly acceptable for a client presentation. He is a proud holder of a Dutch Museumkaart and an enthusiastic tour-guide for any visitors to our Amsterdam studio.

Cameron Murray
Brand Ambassador

Never without his phone in his hand, Cameron lives life in 140 characters. An avid content creator, authenticity advocate, and content marketing enthusiast, he enjoys nothing more than seeing social done well and playing a pivotal part in brand building.

Moira McDade
Accountant

A former Bank Manager, Moira is a tough task master who gets her kicks from maintaining Stand’s brilliant credit rating (even through the tough times of the 2008-12 recession). Oh, and more importantly, she’s a passionate volunteer for MacMillan Cancer Care.

Gordon Dyett
Strategy and Insight Manager

Even after five years in agency land and four years studying marketing Gordon still can’t shift the look of a fresh-faced teenager. When he’s not working he’s spending too much money eating out, too much time reading Wikipedia and too much energy going to gigs.

Melissa Macdonald
Head of Account Management

Having been both inquisitive and organised from a very young age, Melissa has found her perfect job combining her natural enthusiasm for problem solving and her total obsession with lists.

She is a proud adopted Scot who is passionate about travelling whenever she can, and often dreams of the day when she can finally own a German Shepherd of her own.
