Jon began his career in traditional advertising and then spent ten years going digitally native before taking the post of Chief Creative Officer at Grey – a career path that makes him unique in the UK.
Jon’s role is as diverse as it is varied. His principal focus, however, is to develop the network in terms of creativity, technology and talent. He has worked above, below and through the line at Publicis, Wunderman and BMB, on brands as diverse as Honda, Rolls Royce, Ford, Toshiba, Carling, Adidas, Hewlett Packard, X-Box, Microsoft, Land Rover, Renault and The British Heart Foundation and his work has travelled globally, personally winning over 150 International awards both for creativity and effectiveness. He has sat on or chaired juries many times at D&AD, Cannes, and pretty much every local award show in EMEA. When he’s actually in the UK, he mentors at The School of Communication Arts, and Techstars, one of the largest incubators in the world, helping tech start-ups pivot and grow. Creatively, he developed the first genuinely interactive TV ad ever broadcast, the first MPU in Europe, the first use of near-field mobile enabled posters, and the world’s first pan-European, crowd-sourced, co-created long-form film. And, of course, the iPint, the world’s first native branded application for the iPhone, the most popular FMCG app of all time, has been downloaded more than six million times. |

This encounter is an occasion for professionals to exchange ideas through dedicated networking moments. Eminent personalities share their views on the future of the industry.
