Jonny Stewart is Managing Partner at Bulletproof, an independent brand design agency with studios in London, New York, Singapore, Amsterdam and Sydney.

Jonny is a near perfect example of a misspent English Public-School education. After leaving school at 17, Jonny decamped to London, eventually enrolling at Art College to study Graphic Design and Art Direction. It was here that he met Bulletproof’s future founder, Gush Mundae. Although from opposite walks of life, they immediately hit it off over the poor timing of an inappropriate joke and the rest, as they say, is history. 

Jonny loved the idea of advertising but after gaining experience with a number of agencies, he found that the reality didn’t live up to the hype and decided to leave the industry, setting up an eco-conscious fashion brand, Mama Terra, in 1996. He will tell you the brand was “inspired”, “before its time” and “one of the best mistakes ever made”, as it paved the way for Bulletproof.

Since starting Bulletproof alongside Gush over 22 years ago, Jonny has devoted himself to building the agency into the global network it is today. It’s a journey that’s led him to work with an inspirational collection of clients from start-ups to international FMCG giants such as Coca-Cola, Mondeléz and the International Olympic Committee. 

Jonny is responsible for ensuring that the network is commercially sound, flexing his creative approach to navigate the business through its global growth whilst maintaining his passion for our values and ethics. It’s his responsibility to keep Bulletproof true to the foundations and culture that were born in a tiny Soho studio back in ’98.
