Paul Gill is CEO of Gillgraphics, a UK-based branding and graphic design agency he built over more than a decade, starting out as a solo web designer working from a spare room. He has since grown the business into a full-service agency offering branding, graphic design, web development, hosting, print, and digital marketing services, all handled in-house to keep tight control over quality.
Gill has built his approach to client work around close, collaborative partnerships, spending significant time understanding a client's vision, values, and competitive landscape before developing creative solutions. He has spoken about treating past professional setbacks as a source of empathy for clients and a driver of his own growth as a business owner.
The company recently expanded significantly by acquiring a nationwide hosting business, growing its client base substantially, and Gill has since been developing a referral network intended to let UK-based clients collaborate with and support one another's growth.
