The newly launched agency is based in Glasgow and has this week announced two client wins, childrenswear label Eat Yer Greens and jewellery and fashion designers Stoned & Waisted.
Maitland said: "We planned for some time to run our own show and these wins will hopefully be the first of many."
McGrath added: "I found myself working less for agencies and more for direct clients. Yield is a natural progression and allows us to concentrate on blue-chip design for print projects."
