Chris McDowell
Founder & CEO
Chris McDowell founded BrisTechTonic after moving to Bristol and finding a city full of creative, independent businesses that needed proper SEO but could not afford, or did not want, a big agency. With a background in technology and project delivery and more than 20 years in and around digital marketing, he built the agency to make search understandable and achievable. During lockdown he set up a website for local suppliers and weekly takeaway events for street-food traders, helping generate more than £20,000 for small businesses in six weeks.
Logos
Use the navy logo on light backgrounds and the white logo on navy or charcoal. Keep clear space around it equal to the height of the arrowhead, and do not recolour, stretch or add effects. The wordmark is always lowercase, written as one word.
Brand colours and fonts
Headings are set in League Spartan and body text in Open Sans. Both are free on Google Fonts (Open Sans).
