Perfect Crowd

Invitation: workshop with John Griffiths, 30.11.2010

It is a great pleasure to welcome John Griffiths to London in Prague.
John has been planning on advertising for 25 years now, direct marketing for 17 years and integrated it all together with sales promotion, sponsorship, PR and latterly the web for the last 14.
John has been running Planning Above and Beyond since 2000 – a consultancy pushing the boundaries of research & planning. Clients include Cisco, Tesco and Intercontinental hotels. He also runs research training as a partner with Mike Imms, the AQR and the research component of the IE business school online MBA. Open source projects he has helped to initiate include the Research Liberation Front, Waggledancers and the Cloud of Knowing. From this last project came a paper called the Cloud of Knowing given at this year’s MRS conference which is currently shortlisted for Best New Thinking and Best New Paper. Its subject is the incorporation of online content within market research. John continues to work with his clients as a catalyser to ensure that research is more a movement than a product or a process.
