Our Story

Dan Clayton started his working life as an acoustics engineer, a branch of physics and acoustics that’s about as far from marketing as you’d think.

But he’d always had a side that was drawn to music, storytelling, video, and figuring out how to get people to pay attention.

And so Thumbmuffin was born.

Thumbmuffin started in 2014, as a music events promotion company, then music videos and artist marketing and branding.

Commercial work followed. Then branding. Then strategy. Then full marketing support. The company grew because the work delivered results and clients kept coming back.

What hasn’t changed is the approach. Dan came from a background where you measure things, test them, and make decisions based on what actually works.

We’ve helped oil and gas companies go from page 15 to page 1 on Google., built YouTube channels from zero to earning ad revenue, and helped our clients time and time again, find, develop and nurture customers with the power of video and digital media marketing.

We're direct. We don’t do fluff.

If something isn’t working, we’ll tell you.

If you’re wasting money, we’ll tell you that too. And if we think video is the thing that’ll move the needle for your business, which it usually is, we’ll take you on that journey.
