Glasgow full-service agency with fertility clinic web and paid media experience
About Big Think Agency
Big Think Agency is a Glasgow marketing, design and web agency working from Studio 405 in South Block on Osborne Street. Tony Clark founded it in 2011 as a design and branding studio, and Antony Raymond Clark has been a director since December 2011. Stephanie Ainslie, who met Clark early in their advertising careers, joined as a director in 2021 with about two decades of media experience. The team has 19 people across design, search, social, media buying, development and account management.
The agency has no published dental clients, but it does have real healthcare experience. Since 2018 it has acted as technical agency for London Women's Clinic and its sister brands London Egg Bank, London Sperm Bank and Kind IVF. That work covers paid search, paid social, programmatic campaigns, web development for every brand site, conversion work, analytics dashboards and custom booking and calendar tools linked to Salesforce, Google and Trustpilot. The new booking tools cut content managers' admin time by more than 30 percent. They have also run campaigns for M&D Green Pharmacy.
Search work covers technical SEO, content strategy and PPC, and the agency will either manage it or train an in-house team. Sites are built on Umbraco, WordPress or Shopify after a discovery phase and a detailed project plan. Media buying stands out: they plan and buy across TV, radio, press, digital and outdoor through direct relationships with media owners, with no minimum budget. Other services include organic and paid social, email, print, content creation and branding.
Most of their portfolio is in arts, events and leisure, including TRNSMT, DF Concerts, National Theatre of Scotland, Dundee Rep, Blair Drummond Safari Park and City of Glasgow College. That makes them a better fit for a dental group or larger practice that wants brand campaigns, multi-site web development and paid media under one roof than for a single surgery seeking a low-cost local SEO package.
The agency holds Google Partner, Meta Business Partner and TikTok Marketing Partner status, and staff hold Adobe Certified Professional credentials. They are Great Place to Work certified for September 2026 to September 2027 and are an accredited Living Wage employer. No prices, contract terms or independent client reviews are published, so practices will need to request a proposal and references. For a Scottish practice, the local team and broad channel mix are the main draws, while dental-specific results remain untested.
