Mike Alexander joins Muckle Media to help shape what’s next for the agency

Posted: 23rd June 2025

Creative communications agency Muckle Media has appointed Mike Alexander as Account Director to lead new business development and support the agency’s continued growth.

Mike brings a wealth of experience to the newly created role, having previously worked at one of the UK’s leading business development consultancies, Future Factory (part of The Ingenuity Group).

With expertise in lead generation and defining agency propositions, Mike is joining the team of 35 to work with loved brands and deliver clever and creative campaigns that drive success. The agency currently works with a range of high-profile brands including Galloway Cheddar, Isle of Harris Distillery and Popeyes, to name a few

Mike will work closely with creative director Jacquelyn Whyte to continue building relationships with exciting brands across Scotland and beyond.

Jacquelyn Whyte said; “Mike joins the team at such a pivotal time in our growth journey as we seek to continue to win work with major household brands on a global stage. Mike’s proven track record for lead generation and his passion for creative communications will help us continue to scale with purpose, while bringing even more exciting brands into the Muckle group. We remain committed to aligning our work and values to the triple bottom line through all our hires; people, profit and planet, moving towards a regenerative and more sustainable future.”

Mike Alexander added; “I’m looking forward to contributing to Muckle Media and its bold, values-driven approach to communications. The agency has built a strong reputation for creative and impactful work, and I’m looking forward to helping shape its next chapter of growth.”

The appointment comes after Muckle Media acquired 100% of Spey’s shares last year, making it a fully owned subsidiary, a further step in Muckle Media’s ambitious growth plans.

Muckle Media was named no 27 in PR Week’s Top Agencies Outside of London list for 2025 and recently took home five PRCA DARE Awards as well as a Gold, Silver and Bronze award at the Marketing Society Scotland Star Awards.
