Co-Founder

Mark

Co-Founder of Make Lemonade, Mark has experience in building and growing successful businesses.

He started his career at Microsoft as a Senior Application Development Consultant where he spent 10 years.

He subsequently took his first steps into Entrepreneurship helping build, grow and exit a skills testing SaaS business before online testing was a thing.

He then started Thirty Seven, a Digital Marketing agency for local businesses which he ran for 7 years before exiting that business too. Thirty Seven was a journalist-led content creation agency focusing on SEO, content and creative design.

Mark took these skills to build his own portfolio of content brands which he successfully runs to this day and has included multiple 6 figure exits.

Realizing that the content publishing industry was underserved by agencies, he teamed up with Adam Smith to create the first premium agency dedicated to content brand startups – Make Lemonade.

Today, Make Lemonade has expanded its remit to work not only with startups but also some of the world’s leading brands.

Make Lemonade grew rapidly, employing 170+ people in it’s first 2 years. Mark has a passion for growing businesses fast and at scale and is enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge with the Make Lemonade community and beyond.

Mark is a husband and father of three children. When he finds time for himself, he likes to watch football, play pickleball, golf or poker.
