Summary
Martin Jewiss is a seasoned founder and partner with 12 years of leadership in digital strategy, creative delivery and business growth, currently co-leading The Forge Partnership and The Familiar from Whitstable, England. He combines a background in environmental science and landscape archaeology with two decades of agency practice to create holistic marketing and communications solutions that prioritize trust and measurable results. As a hands-on managing director who previously ran Mpjdesign for 15 years, he blends specialist teams into multi-disciplinary offerings that exceed single-source agency capabilities. Active in professional development, he serves as an Early Careers Advocate and committee member for BCS’s Agile Methods Specialist Group, reflecting a commitment to mentoring and modern delivery practices. Unusually for a marketing leader, his early career as a chartered biologist informs a data-driven, systems-oriented approach to creative problem solving.
