For a stretch of my career I spent a lot of time on stages, mostly talking about two things: how advertising formats and standards actually work, and why company culture is a product problem rather than an HR one. London, Cologne and Los Angeles, at roughly ten events a year.

DMEXCO
Cologne · speaker and panellist
Rich media formats and where the money in display advertising was actually going.

The employer branding films sit on the culture page, and film of the ad formats I used to talk about sits with the products themselves. Two of the links above survive only because someone archived them.
