About Us
The business was founded in 1987 by two retail industry experts (a senior FMCG marketing director, and an industry print and packaging specialist) who saw a gap in the market.
Their goal was to provide premium services to sales and marketing teams, to help them to execute projects more efficiently and to a higher standard, with better results for their business. Over the years our services have grown, and a strong, highly customer-needs-focused business was built around that industry knowledge and client focus.
Brothers, Kerry and Mitchell Whitehouse bought the business in early 2021, bringing with them a passion for people.
Growing people and their careers to be more fulfilled has become a cornerstone of BrandSpec. The team has continued to invest in the business, systems, resources, and people to improve our offering and service to clients.
With ‘customer needs’ at the forefront, we develop software, services, and products to enable sales teams, marketers, and brand owners to make their products and services more visible in the market. With the BrandSpec Army on their side, our customers can get greater ROI and results from their limited marketing resources by engaging our end-to-end services.
