Sean Pillot de Chenecey’s background:
Following a decade with cutting-edge agencies, Sean became a research consultant and has conducted ethnographic & trend research around the world. He’s fascinated by the individuals, movements & events that shine a light on social and cultural change. As a result of this, he has a very deep level of knowledge regarding the genuine issues impacting brands from a cultural / social / business perspective.
Sean is a highly experienced business forecaster, a dynamic public speaker, author of successful books and host of a popular podcast.
His first book ”The Post-Truth Business” went to No1 in the Business Bestseller charts, whilst his second ”Influencers and Revolutionaries” was shortlisted for the 2021 Business Book of the Year Awards. His podcast ”The New Abnormal” has over 130,000 downloads. He’s appeared on TV and radio shows, written for think-tank and marketing magazines, and have been quoted across a range of international news and business media.
Sean’s given speeches at events from L.A. to Tokyo and Helsinki to Melbourne (with many others in between); speaking at venues inc boardrooms, congress halls, stadiums and festivals, although most of my talks are now given via Teams or Zoom. He’s also lectured at creative universities and business schools for over a decade. His talks inc a mixture of research, semiotics, applied philosophy and psychology plus other ‘big-thinker’ references, based on these meta-themes:
- Trust and Authenticity
- Innovation and Forecasting
- Hope and Resilience
Re: brand strategy, he co-founded The Future Laboratory and then left to focus on his own consulting practice, which focuses on trust and/or innovation. He’s conducted insights/trend research in the UK/EU, MENA, Asia, Russia and North America; and also collaborates with and/or consults to other leading agencies.
The results of the above, combined with utilising his wide range of contacts across business / culture, often inputs to the content of his speeches e.g. ‘connecting the boardroom to the street’ alongside pattern recognition that includes analysing the viewpoints of thought-leaders and think-tanks, etc.
Finally, Sean is proud to be a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
