Putting the “So What?” into Social Media and Content Marketing
In this session, Andrew explores the essential question most organisations fail to ask: “So what?” He shows how to move from personal use of social media to truly professional application, examining what actually drives customer engagement and commercial outcomes. Rather than focusing on vanity metrics, Andrew highlights the core elements that turn followers into real customers and content into meaningful business impact.
Celebrating Failure: Why MySpace Fell – and What Every Business Can Learn from It
Having played a key role in launching MySpace in the UK, Andrew offers a rare insider’s perspective on the platform’s meteoric rise — and equally rapid collapse. In this revealing keynote, he identifies the critical mistakes that led to MySpace’s downfall and distils them into three powerful lessons that organisations can apply to avoid similar pitfalls. It’s a candid, insightful and highly relevant exploration of innovation, agility and the importance of strategic decision-making.

This deep-dive session explores the key behaviours, habits and strategies needed to build, grow and maintain a career in an ever-changing digital landscape.
