Background

Ian started his digital media career 10 years ago at a London agency creating online products and strategies for a variety of blue chip clients. Embracing his knowledge and passion for the online world, Ian was invited to become one of the founding writers for the popular trend spotting consultancy PSFK with whom he still has close ties.

Ian later went on to establish his own business of three years in the music industry and in 2004 moved from London to Sydney to launch and manage the Australian office for a British entertainment company specialising in Digital Rights Management. Over a period of 2 years Ian developed the digital sales channel for one of Australia’s largest music retailers and through a move into a consultancy role at a private investment firm, Ian went on to develop three online products in the Asian mobile arena.
