Speaking events

Do you want someone to make you think? An inspirational speaker who’ll get you considering what we all buy, watch and do and how and why we do it?

Our CEO Nick is regularly asked to speak at events and conferences.

As a pragmatist, Nick is sceptical of the public’s engagement in anything unless there is something in it to entertain or interest them, and his talks follow the same principle.

He is able to shed light onto contemporary social and environmental issues with an artillery of facts and statistics that question a lot of assumptions traditionally made by companies, brands, charities, community groups and local governments.

He offers practical insights into behaviour-change work, elucidating what it is, why it’s relevant to every business, every organisation and every person and how it can be used to affect major global issues including obesity, global warming and the breakdown of inter-generational and inter-cultural relations.

As an advocate of mainstream consumer goods and entertainment, Nick will leave you seeing Toy Story 3 and the Apple Store in a new light, and inspired to re-evaluate the power of your everyday behaviour.

Nick has spoken to a wide array of companies, organisations, and institutions including npower, the British Council, Google, Intel Ireland, Stanford University and Liberty Global.

Testimonials

Fantastic. Our Future Leaders were genuinely inspired and we’ll be using Nick with as many Npower audiences as we can.

Clare McDougall, Npower, Future Leaders Event

Nick gave an inspiring speech, full of insights into the transformation of society and the development of We Are What We Do into a value creating marketing agency, offering both a great business solution for companies and consumers and true value towards a better society. The participants received many insights into how to serve Beiersdorf consumers in a sustainable way.

Dirk Strametz, Beiersdorf

Nick inspired our audience with his provocative and entertaining insights on how to motivate consumers to act differently. His case studies prove the value of We Are What We Do’s unique approach to behaviour change, and his delivery and enthusiasm made an already interesting subject into a compelling argument that will help change the way we think about social and environmental issues.

Roy Sharone, Liberty Global

For the French speaking half of the audience to be as entertained and inspired as the English speaking half was remarkable! We Are What We Do is a brilliant organisation and they bring what they do to life very well. We look forward to the next occasion we can hear Nick.

CE, British Council, International Student Event

For our final debate on One Swindon we needed an inspirational, divergent, thought-provoking, core presenter, and the selection of Nick Stanhope of We Are What We Do fulfilled all the days’ needs. In a most encouraging way, Nick was able to lift the horizons of us all, to expand our belief in what is possible rather than what is not possible. The sharp, incisive delivery, peppered with real-life actions and successes is exactly what our audience needed to drive away the negatives from budget cuts, recession and redundancies. After the simple, smooth, seductive ideas, wrapped in the most successful presentations, to offer you our thanks would not do you justice. However, from us all, a “Thank You Nick” for the tremendous input and the lasting memories.

Tom Charnock, Chair of the Partnership Board Overview and Monitoring Group, One Swindon
