clear & honest marketing.
I'm David Wilson, founder of Glued. I've spent 27 years in design and marketing, 23 of them running Glued, helping business owners, education teams and marketing leads tell great stories with great visual brands.
People who don't understand your business won't trust it. People who don't trust it won't buy. Clear and honest marketing fixes both.
clear.
Graphic design and brand that communicate what makes you different, so people get it in seconds.
honest.
Authentic brand messaging built on what is true about you, so the people who choose you stay.

hello, I'm David.
I founded Glued with Rob Harrison in 2003. Rob stepped away in 2026 to move towards retirement. Over the years I've realised that combining a great story with a great visual brand is the surest way to attract like-minded people, whether that's customers or staff.
Norfolk born, Coventry trained, Worcester based. When you work with Glued, you work with me.
and I built teams glued.
Glued connects people on the outside, through clear brands and campaigns. Teams Glued, my VR team experience, connects them on the inside. It puts behavioural profiling inside a VR escape challenge, and Innovate UK backed it with a Launchpad grant.
let's talk about your story.
Whatever the brand or marketing challenge, the first conversation is with me.
