Speakers
Nic Hodges
Digital Creative Director, Clemenger BBDO Sydney
Nic comes from a background of product, web and graphic design, but at the heart of what he does is communication. He understands what makes effective communication online, how social currency is created, and where brands have a place in the online conversation.
He believes that technology will continue its acceleration and impact in our daily world, and offers the ability to make both our lives and work better.
Julian Cole
Digital Strategist, The Population
Julian is a Digital Strategist at The Population where he has worked on a number of social media campaigns for Universal Music, Coca Cola, Foxtel, Cancer Council and Seek.
Most people love Facebook but Julian takes the cake for commitment. In 2007, he spent a whole year writing an Honours thesis on Facebook Psychology. If that was not enough, he recently got a semi permanent tattoo of Facebook on his bum for a Facebook calendar shoot!
Ben Phillips
Senior Digital Planner, Euro RSCG
In his current role at Euro RSCG, Ben Phillips has created the global digital strategy for Jacob's Creek and the Australian strategies for Sony Centre and Clearasil. Previously he developed the online strategy behind the Bacardi Express music tour and is currently working on making a social network for cat owners for Whiskas.
Prior to joining Euro RSCG in 2008, Ben was at GPY&R / Wunderman for two and a half years. He recently got back from giving a series of digital training seminars in the Middle East where he successfully navigated Ramadan without offending local sensibilities.
