I’ve had some fascinating conversations with people.I’ve sold exchange-traded funds to city traders and guided teenage girls through puberty. Grandparents have answered my call to support sick children and numerous executives own a luxury saloon because they took up my offer of a test drive. I've made it easy for fun loving party animals to choose an indestructible smartphone, and helped adventure skiers catch fresh powder. I’ve even shifted a few excavators costing £250,000 a pop to Scandinavian construction firms. My broad range of channel skills has allowed me to connect some of the world’s biggest brands (and a few smaller ones) to people in a relevant and rewarding way.With the impact of marketing tech now being felt, it will be fascinating to see how AI changes the dynamic of the conversations that brands have with people. As a Creative Director, I use this experience to actively encourage others to really get under the skin of the challenge, try new things and to take risks. And most importantly, enjoy every moment. But that’s enough about me. Is there a marketing challenge you’d like to talk to me about? If so, get in touch.Gary
