Testimonials

Here’s what people say about working with me:

“Rob is such a rare and amazing Planning Director who I have had the pleasure of working with for over 6 years. Not only can he take the most complex of modern day brand challenges, with an acute awareness of the digital ecosystem, he also just gets on and does it in record time and is always a favourite of clients we work with for just this. He is constantly curious, delves into the weird and wonderful out there to find the best insights, and does it in an unflappable way. As an account person, I massively appreciate his proactiveness, his ability to juggle many many briefs and client challenges and just his 'get on with it' attitude. He is also an empath who is a fantastic mentor to younger colleagues, giving them the time and patience to learn with him. I would highly rate and recommend Rob for any thorny business, brand, social, innovation briefs and client challenges out there.”

“I hired Rob to do a talk at one of my team offsite and it was such a pleasure to work with him. From brief to delivery he was absolutely incredible. It took him 2 minutes to get at the heart of what I wanted to achieve with his session. His candour is refreshing and his brilliant thinking challenges you the way you see the world. My team thoroughly enjoyed his session: smart strategy delivered with fun and honesty coming from real life experience. I'd absolutely recommend working with him, no matter how big or small the brief, you won't regret it”.

His session was a highlight of the Boot Camp, left the students entertained, and sharpened their critical thinking. I wholeheartedly recommend Rob for teaching or training roles to elevate your curriculum.”

He always manages to captivate and enthral audiences when doing speaking engagements, really has his finger on the pulse of culture and always leaves behind a poignant impression.
