Meet our Brainy bunch
The Brains agency began back in 2015 when co-founders Larry Kotch and Jonathan Lemer decided that marketing needed a new face. Since then, we’ve been expanding our Brains across multiple departments, striving to deliver the very best results for our clients in every marketing channel.

Larry Kotch
Founder & Automation Guru
Larry has helped over 400 companies with their Digital Strategy. He recently ranked #3 in B2B Marketing’s Global 30 under 30 and is a regular speaker on London’s marketing circuit. Larry is an automation evangelist and is on a mission to empower all great businesses with the tools to generate amazing leads.

Jonathan Lemer
Founder & Lead Legend
Jonathan is obsessed with running #NoBS marketing campaigns that deliver on commercial objects for clients and has helped tech start-ups & FTSE 100 behemoths do just that. Prior to co-founding The Brains Jonathan worked with the likes of PepsiCo, Kraft Foods and the NHS to validate and launch new ventures.
The senior leadership team
Hannah Else
Content Production Manager
Tackling all things content, Hannah leads a talented team of copywriters in the production of landing pages, blogs, email marketing copy and all the rest. When she's not taking clients through in-depth persona workshops or writing conversion-ready blog posts, Hannah switches gears slightly and writes poetry instead.
Domenic Staelberg
Client Services Director
The steady hand on our ship's rudder, Client Services Director Dom goes above and beyond to ensure every client receives an exceptional level of service. When he's not busy being Brainy, Dom shares his supercar photography with over 120k Instagram followers.
James Speyer
Senior SEO Strategist
Heading up our SEO operations, James is an incredibly skilled and talented organic search strategist with over ten years of experience. When he's not busy bending Google to his will, James bakes incredible cakes, enjoys a spot of gaming and completes an improbable number of Lego Harry Potter sets.
Charly Chow
Strategy Director
Heading up our strategic operations, Charly has a particular specialism in creative content strategy, persona targeting and conversion rate optimisation. When she's not maximising ROI for our clients, she spends her spare time writing children's stories and songs for YouTube.
Mike Moodie
Paid Media Director
With over fifteen years of industry experience, Mike has built our PPC team from the ground up and seen triple-digit growth in the department. When he's not deep in analytics, Mike loves a good surf session and/or mountain hike.
Viktor Bakardzhiev
Lead Programmer
Viktor is our Lead Programmer with 8+ years of experience in the field. He specialises in front-end and back-end development, complex tracking and integrations, technical SEO, and oversees the entire development process.
Seb Shaw
Finance Director
With over 10 years of corporate finance experience, our Finance Director Seb is an expert in all things ROI and revenue. When not balancing the books, Seb dabbles in quantum physics. His two best friends are Excel and Python.
Our Brainy history

2016
Where it all began
Our co-founders Larry and Jonathan started The Brains in 2016, with hopes that in time it would grow from a lead generation agency into a full-service marketing giant. Little did they know how quickly the Brainy bunch would expand…


2017
Expanding our offices across Europe
Soon it was time to expand, and in 2017 The Brains stretched across Europe and found new office spaces (and new Brainy experts of course).


2018
Achieving industry recognition
Throughout the years The Brains have been recognised across the industry and have won multiple prestigious awards including B2B Marketing’s 30 Under 30, Real Business Future 50 and most recently The Global Digital Excellence Awards for Best integrated Agency and The UK Digital Growth Awards.

2019
Standing out and delivering solid results
As The Brains grew and became even better at delivering quality marketing services across a range of channels, our client base continued to expand. By 2019 we were not only offering performance marketing services , but CRO, SEO and more.
2020
Staying strong and staying Brainy
2020 brought challenges to thousands of companies, but we pushed ourselves to maintain the quality of service we’ve always strived to deliver. 2020 turned out to be one of our best years for the business as a whole as well as company growth.

2021
Expanding our team
Currently, we’re continuing to expand our team and find new avenues of marketing to explore. We have an established, full-service offering and have gained experience with a range of clients, delivering results-driving, Brainy campaigns year after year.
