What Richard Shotton's clients say
"We love working with Rich for WARC’s events. When he presents, we know we’re guaranteed three things – 1) a fascinating set of insights, 2) evidence and examples to back up all the theory and, 3) a crowd in raptures to hear what he says next!"
"Richard is everything you need from a conference speaker - thought-provoking, sparky and useful. Taking part in a debate at the Festival of Marketing last year, Richard delivered a case against brand purpose that was well argued, robust and sent those watching away with plenty to think about."
