Meet the founder
PENNY LEE TAYLOR-BROWN
I’m Penny Lee, and I’m passionate about audio, advertising, and real stories.
For nearly 20 years, I’ve been building my experience in the advertising world, including working for the two biggest radio groups in the UK, where I developed a deep understanding of how powerful sound, story, and strategy can be when they come together.
Alongside that, I’ve always loved helping people find their voice and tell stories that feel real, human, and full of personality. Podcasts are a huge passion of mine, as well as film, music, and creating work that connects properly with people.
Whether it’s a campaign or a conversation, there's always a story.
