John is a serial entrepreneur with 30 years’ experience of the advertising industry, including over 25 years of experience in data privacy and marketing data analytics.
John started his career selling classified advertisements for the Daily Telegraph in 1991, before moving into radio advertising for Independent Radio Sales, part of Katz Communications.
In 1998, he founded one of the first independent marketing analysis businesses in the UK which he sold to Diversified Agencies UK Holdings Ltd (formerly Lopex plc), a subsidiary of Havas Advertising S.A, the French multinational advertising and public relations company. It became part of EHS Brann, the creators of the Tesco Clubcard, the first large-scale, data-driven marketing operation in the UK.
John then co-founded his second and third businesses, namely Absolute Intuistic Limited, trading as AI Data Intelligence, and Intuistic Limited, which were bought out by Communisis Plc in 2008. AI Data Intelligence specialised in the use of advanced analytics to optimise direct mail campaigns for large clients including Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds TSB and Vodafone. Following the sale, John spent two years as a director on the acquisitions team of Communisis Data Limited (part of the Communisis Plc group).
