Scott Pearce

Partner

Scott Pearce was born and raised in Hertfordshire, where he still lives and runs successful media company Datum. He left school at sixteen with good academic qualifications but, rather than pursue further formal education, he chose to accept an apprenticeship with an established local printing business. This reflects Scott’s belief in and commitment to hands-on learning, a philosophy he continues to follow as he develops new skills and expands his business interests.

Joining Datum thirty years ago as an apprentice, Scott became a full-time employee learning the business from the shop-floor. After nine years he was made a director and for the last sixteen years co-owner. Datum is a company that specialises in marketing, sales, design, artwork, printing and digital media. With a strong team of staff specialising in all of these areas, Scott’s role is largely project management of contracts for a wide range of clients. These can range from small local business like garden centres and builders, to national and multinational companies, that include Adidas, Bollinger, John Lewis, Marks and Spencer, Arsenal Football Club, ITV and Nando’s, to name just a few.

One of Scott’s passions is photography, which is consistent with his enjoyment and satisfaction in working creatively. He believes in precision and being thorough, personally seeing each project through to its conclusion, which is reflected in the success of Datum and the loyalty of major clients like Bollinger.  His background and experience, a unique skills set and a willingness to learn about a new business, make Scott Pearce an exciting new player in the world of publishing. He hopes he may steer Brigand to great success in terms of its contribution to contemporary literature and sales of books!
