I'm a professional speaker, consultant and educator. I specialize in the intersection of creativity and technology - so I spend a lot of time working on AI. You can often find me prancing around on stages sharing advice on how to have better ideas (with or without technology). Or showing organisations how to get better thinking from their employees. As.

I've recently discovered that I'm LinkedIn Learning's most popular AI instructor. I'm pretty chuffed about that. I've got a whole bunch of courses on the platform - and lots more in the works. So go and check out my courses and see what I can help you learn.

Most online presentations suck. But they don't have to. They can be just as engaging as a good face-to-face presentation. And in some ways can be better. This is an 8-week program that shows you how to make your remote presentations far more effective. See more at https://www.virtualpresenting.academy/

I believe the best way of learning is by doing. As part of that, I helped to set up Studio KT1, an art studio staffed by the talented students of the art school. I also did some teaching. And looked at ways to take creative education to the business community. It was an honour to work with one of the world’s most respected art schools. Sadly, the.

OpenForIdeas.org was an online magazine I set up to help individuals and organisations become more creative. It focused on the practical side of creativity. It gave you actual things you could do that didn't involve waving a crystal or invoking your inner muse. I assembled a crack team of writers who contributed challenging thoughts and helpful advice. I.

I partnered with companies to help them use creativity more effectively. Sometimes I did that through talks and workshops.And sometimes it was a bit more in-depth, where we looked at their skills, knowledge, structure, processes, culture, environment and every other factor that affects fresh thinking.I still do all of this stuff. It just developed more.

Editor at Large was a lovely title to have. I still have no idea what it entailed. But I had lots of fun.I spotted good stuff to write about. I helped with events. I wrote the occasional article. I looked at editorial strategy. I came up with business and partnership ideas. And regularly consumed a bottle of wine with the Editor over a poncy London lunch.

I started the film production arm of The Drum following the release of The Day Before Tomorrow. It produces editorial films for thedrum.com, short documentaries for the web and even broadcast programming. It also handles branded content for paying clients. It's continuing to grow into a significant part of the business. I'm really proud of what we achieved.

I headed up the 'ideapreneur'​ stream at the school. That was all about coming up with new business ideas, developing them and getting them out there. Exciting stuff! A couple of the startups have gone on to become multi-million-pound successes. I'm proud of them!

ESI Media is the company behind The Independent, Evening Standard and London Live TV. I worked with them to help develop a creative culture and innovate across media channels. It was an extraordinary opportunity to do some world firsts. And to work with some brilliant people while I was at it.

I worked with the founders to develop creative skills across the company. And I also helped them come up with ideas for their clients. That included doing some brilliant digital innovation in the banking sector (it's nice to see your ideas in action every time you do a transaction on a mobile phone). The agency went on to be amazingly successful and was.

The podcast is a series of interviews with some of the biggest names in the advertising industry.

If it used pixels or code or some other form of geekiness, it was my bag. If it didn't, it was also my bag.

Coming up with concepts and making sure they're nothing short of incredible when they're done. And all the stuff in between.

I was responsible for the digital work for a couple of global accounts. And I led teams of talented creatives to produce the work. Some of it was pretty nice and got a bit of attention.

I was the Creative Director's partner. I also acted as the Head of Copy and did much of the day to day running of the department. I came up with concepts and helped to direct the creative teams in doing work that was better than mine. Sometimes I succeeded.
