About Davison & Brain Digital

Digital marketing that makes sense, for businesses that care

Davison & Brain Digital is a digital marketing consultancy for small businesses, creatives, and purpose-led organisations who want clarity, confidence, and marketing that actually fits the way they work.

Run by me, Ciaran Davison (and yes, my brain), this is a business built on honest advice, real relationships, and meaningful results. I help people who care about people and planet to find their digital footing, communicate their value, and grow with integrity.

Whether you need a website that reflects your business, content that connects, or someone to help you figure out what’s worth doing and what’s not, I’m here to guide you through it: no jargon, no hard sell, no gimmicks.

You bring the ideas, energy, and ambition. I bring the strategy, structure, and get-it-done mindset. Together, we build digital foundations that are clear, sustainable, and genuinely useful.

Who I work with

I work best with thoughtful, passionate people who want to make a positive difference, whether that’s through creative work, ethical products, coaching, community projects, or socially conscious businesses.

Some of my clients are just starting out; others are well-established but ready for change. Some know exactly what they need; others are still figuring it out. All of them want marketing that feels like a natural extension of their values, not a bolt-on afterthought.

How it started

Davison & Brain Digital began after I returned to Leicester from Australia in 2014. After years of working in digital roles — including at Microsoft, WeightWatchers, Ticketek Australia and Routledge Informa — I decided to take everything I’d learned and use it to support people doing work they actually care about.

Now, I spend my days helping clients create websites, strengthen their SEO, write better content, understand their analytics, and take control of their marketing without losing their voice or their sanity in the process.

This is hands-down the best decision I have made within my business; my marketing and software is in safe hands and I feel very well supported. This is so important during start-up and growth phases where trust and reliability can be difficult to find, I feel very lucky to have Davison & Brain Digital on…

What matters here

These are the values that guide every part of how I work:

People first, always

This business is built on trust, empathy, and listening. Relationships come first.

Clear is kind

No jargon. No smoke and mirrors. Just straightforward advice and honest conversation.

Do good work with good people

I love working with clients who care: about people, the planet, and doing things the right way.

Shared wins matter more

We work together. I am not here to take over; I am here to help you succeed in your own way.

Progress over perfection

You do not need a perfect plan. You need the next right step. That is what I help you find.

Be real. Stay human.

Your business is not a brand persona. It is a real thing, built by real people. Let’s keep it that way.

Let’s talk about your marketing

Whether you are planning something new, trying to fix what is already there, or just looking for a bit of clarity, I’d love to hear from you.

No pressure. No hard sell. Just an honest conversation about where you are and what might help.
