Welcome Conversation Man. Our conversationalist in residence.
We’ve got a new member of the team. He goes by ‘Conversation Man’ and is helping us elevate our understanding of the power of conversation, what it means to the human experience and what that means to our work.
Dr. John Reed has three social science degrees from Oxford University including a Ph.D. He subsequently worked in London for several years with historian and philosopher Theodore Zeldin, author of ‘Conversation’ and ‘An Intimate History of Humanity’.
Each month, Conversation Man will be publishing a blog on, well, conversations. He’ll discuss how to stimulate and think about the power of conversation. He’ll explore strange new conversational worlds, and seek out new life and new conversations with his unique insights and style. Join us on this journey by reading his first episode ‘The Adventures Of Conversation Man‘.

We heard from world leading brands and expert practitioners like Comic Relief, Diageo, Mediacom and Amazon Alexa! We covered the future of voice assistants in your life, brand communications and voice commerce.
With nearing half of homes in the US & UK owning smart speakers, brands are taking the opportunity to connect with consumers at home using voice assistants. The success stories showed us it’s clear to see this is where the future is headed.
