H. Stuart Menzies

H. Stuart Menzies

H. Stuart Menzies was born in London in 1886. In 1922 he set up the Stuart Advertising Agency, an innovative agency that worked with leading artists of the time such as Edward Bawden, Edward McKnight Kauffer, Ben Nicholson, and Barbara Hepworth. Menzies was highly sought after as a copywriter and produced the amusing Commentaries for Fortnum & Mason, the logo of Imperial Airways and some of the "Shell on the Road" publicity for Shell-Mex. His business partner, Marcus Brumwell, headed the firm when Menzies retired around 1938-9. Menzies moved with his wife, Elizabeth to Tahiti and later settled in Canada. He died in December 1959.
