Dunclyde, founded in 2018 by Daniel Clydesdale and Eilidh Dunsire, provides strategy-led brand and web design services to local, national and international companies. The indoor-outdoor workspace can hold up to six people and also has an outdoor conference room.

The two will spend time between Aberdeen and LA as they look to build the agency’s client base in the US.

To facilitate further growth, Dunclyde has brought in Jonny Seligman as sales and account manager in Los Angeles.

Mr Seligman has worked across the US as a project manager, with a history in client experience and retention, and was a digital events coordinator for the 2020 Presidential Election with the Democratic Party, where he helped to mobilise volunteers in the largest outreach campaign in history, reaching 12 million people.

Eilidh Dunsire, director of Dunclyde, said: “We are delighted to have officially signed the lease for our office opposite Sony Animation Studios at Culver Junction in Los Angeles.

“We’re looking to build Dunclyde here and in the United States. Jonny was the perfect person to be the face of Dunclyde in LA and we are very excited about what the future holds for the company.”

Daniel Clydesdale, director of Dunclyde, added: “It is a huge milestone for Dunclyde to hire our first US team member and secure an office in Los Angeles. It’s a big step to take and it’s a key part of our plan to grow the agency on both sides of the Atlantic.”

Dunclyde, a certified Webflow Expert Partner, is in the top two creative agencies in Los Angeles on Clutch and also has a perfect five-star rating on the American independent reviewing directory.

Last year, Dunclyde set up community website project Open Sign, a free platform for helping local businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Dunclyde works with small and large organisations to build highly engaging brands and websites across of a broad range of sectors.
