Stuart Brumfitt
Editorial Director
& Creative Consultant

ABOUT

 

I'm an editorial director and creative consultant who helps brands find their voice and make content people genuinely want to read.

After 20 years writing and editing for Fantastic Man, GQ Style, The Face, i-D, Dazed & Confused, Vice and Attitude, I bring that editorial standard to brands, from strategy through to finished magazines, films, newsletters and podcasts.

I'm also the founder and editor of BAGEL, a tennis lifestyle magazine, so I know first-hand what it takes to build a title and an audience from scratch.

I believe the best brand content is original, beautifully made and full of optimism, personality and humanity. I've developed it for Prada, Nike, Adidas, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Rapha and COS.
