Who We Work With
Our History
Our story begins in 1980s Glasgow, where founders Gordon Young and Nick Creed first met at school. They started a magazine together – collating content, selling ads and flogging copies in the playground. For a long time, it was their most profitable venture.
Carynx Group was founded in 1984 and, over the next few years, the company launched several trade magazines spanning sectors as diverse as architecture and law. A marketing-focused magazine called ScotMedia outlived them all, and later regenerated into The Drum as we know it today.
In 1996, Diane Young joined the company as the third director, to develop our events arm. Since then, we've outgrown our origins to become the most widely read marketing website in Europe and expanding to bases in Asia and the US. It’s an evolution we are immensely proud of and one we plan to continue
