The Team
Founded in Aberdeen in 2009, Adspad has become one of the leading and certainly most exciting student marketing companies in Scotland. Our team of young (good looking) employees are searching for unique deals from local and national companies to benefit the students in our current locations.
Jodie Hughes
Managing Director
I worked for the Scottish Institute for Enterprise for 3 years promoting entrepreneurship, as a result winning ‘Intern of the Year 2011’, which led to the founding of My Health Cards. My Health Cards won numerous awards including a Shell LiveWIRE Grand Ideas Award and secured a nationwide deal with Asda. After selling my stake in My Health Cards I bought Adspad a student marketing and advertising company. I now run Adspad full-time focusing on building customer relationships and growing the company nationally. I have a fantastic team working on Adspad but when I am not growing the company I am usually out networking spreading the word.
Scott Craig

Scott is driven by a desire for understanding and a passion for turning great ideas into outstanding products. At Adspad, this translates into keeping our online presence in ship shape, managing the design and distribution of our products and keeping the team happy with surprise deliveries from Greggs. Although he’ll probably never be funny, he’s determined to someday crack a joke that makes someone laugh. One day….

Hello, I’m Ben and I am one of Adspad’s top two business development interns. Since September 2011, I have enjoyed working as an Adspal alongside Jodie and the team. My role at Adspad encompasses learning and applying a wide variety of business skills and interaction; from having the responsibility of account manager for our clients to designing viral campaigns targeted towards our student audience. Currently, I share my time with Adspad with my studies of Business and Spanish at University. The best aspect of my job has been watching our company grow and expand. My ads-piration? To lead the Spanish Adspad revolution in the coming years…
John Mccafferty
Business Development
My tasks at Adspad vary quite a lot. As it is a fairly new company which is trying to grow substantially, my role has been quite versatile and I normally input in most areas of the business. However, I would say that the main thing I do for Adspad is boost team morale. This is done through my obvious hilarity, as exemplified through this captivating piece of writing.
