Introduction to the Speakers:

David ‘DT’ Guest

I’ll be talking about what videos to create, at what stage of the customer journey, and why! I help businesses see the big picture of their strategy, goals and market place so you know where you want to go.

I help break that insight down into smaller, more useful bits that helps you get seen more, explain things better and connect emotionally with customers through video.

With over 15 years of experience and over 300 business video projects I deliver insight, a plan to use video to communicate and the tools and talent to make it happen.

I use whiteboards a lot.

Jordan Worthington

Although only joining the industry in the last 5 years I have been lucky enough to work on an array of different and innovative projects ranging from a PropTech AR venture to an ML-based web content platform.

I’ll admit though nothing excites me more than AI. It indisputably has the potential to change everything we do. As marketers, we generally embrace the idea of AI, smarter tools and more efficient processes but my talk will instead look at the how and why it might soon replace us.
