Every project is a run.

Marcus Hale

Marcus Hale spent four years as a senior developer at a Bristol agency before founding Pixel Exodus in 2019. He trained in parkour on weekends and borrowed the sport's route-mapping discipline to build the studio's checkpoint model. Before agency life, he shipped internal tools for a logistics company in Cardiff, where he learned that the most expensive bugs are the ones nobody named in the brief. He reads a lot of technical writing, runs most mornings, and has a strong opinion about when not to use a carousel. He leads every new client engagement personally through the first two checkpoints.
