I’m Alex, the Founder of Merlin Branding.
Our story begins with me working as a journalist in the UK, Venezuela and then India. 
This was profitable but didn't have enough purpose so I started and led the campaign that saved Brixton Market.
This was amazing but didn't pay anything. To find how to combine purpose and profit I did an MA in Leadership for Sustainable Development with 'greens who do business' Forum for the Future.
After which I created Brew, The Tea Pub. 
We crowdfunded, gaining more than 35 pieces of media coverage and raised 127% of our earning target and were Crowdcube's most-shared start-up.
But then my business partner died unexpectedly. Without him the Tea Pub wasn't able to carry on.
I was devastated and trying to work out what to do next when I got a call from a friend. 
They were impressed with how successful the Tea Pub's branding had been and asked if I could help them market their business. Merlin Branding was born.
