I once managed to persuade Rupert Murdoch into Leo Burnett (I was Media Director) for ‘The Chairman’s Lunch’. This was held every month or so, hosted by the late great Richard Wheatly for senior clients. My job was to get a ‘media character’ along. I invited Murdoch; this was in the early days of Sky. He said yes. Amongst the clients present was someone senior at Kellogg’s.

Last month Advertising: Who Cares? (AWC) the movement started by myself and Nick Manning in 2024 held its second event – a Summit.

My LinkedIn feed filled with lovely posts, not just around the content created by our workstream leaders and their teams over 8 months, but with praise for the whole notion of a volunteer movement.
