Brendan Hawkins

As Founder and Head of Marketing & Communications at Rubik Design Forge, Brendan brings a creative, considered, and brand-focused perspective to the business. With experience across marketing, communications, copywriting, stakeholder engagement, brand development, and opportunity presentation, he plays a central role in shaping how the company is positioned and presented to the market.

With over 12 years of local and international experience, Brendan’s career has been shaped by a strong understanding of how clear messaging, considered positioning, and well-executed communication can strengthen brand presence, support business development, and build credibility with key audiences.

Within Rubik Design Forge, Brendan is responsible for refining the firm’s brand identity, strengthening its market position, and ensuring that its communication remains professional, consistent, and strategically aligned. His role includes translating development opportunities into clear, compelling presentations and strategic collateral for external stakeholders, investors, tenants, and potential partners.

A skilled writer and communications professional, Brendan has the ability to distil complex development concepts into structured, persuasive, and visually coherent material. This enables Rubik Design Forge to present opportunities with clarity, communicate value effectively, and build confidence with audiences that influence project momentum, stakeholder buy-in, and commercial outcomes.

As part of the founding team, Brendan’s contribution sits at the intersection of strategy, communication, business development, and execution. His work helps ensure that the company not only identifies and delivers meaningful opportunities, but positions them with clarity, credibility, and intent.

Alongside his professional role, Brendan is currently pursuing an LLB, reflecting his commitment to broadening his strategic perspective and developing a more multidisciplinary skillset. This academic pursuit complements his work at Rubik, particularly in an environment where communication, structure, stakeholder engagement, and sound judgement are central to long-term growth.

Away from the professional space, Brendan is most at home spending time with his wife and daughter, working through his studies, watching Chelsea Football Club, or chasing the latest Jordan sneaker drops.
