One of the foremost consumer behaviour speakers in the world today, Ken Hughes asks his audiences “Why do shoppers buy and how can we make them buy more?”. Thankfully for most, it's rhetorical, as Ken cycles through some of his tried and tested methods of doing so. Owing to the relevance of his subject matter in society today, and his immensely engaging keynote speeches, Ken has been called upon to deliver speeches at global conferences. In 2015 Ken delivered a TedX Talk where he spoke to hundreds of people at the University of Nicosia on Time Bending – 365 Ways to Unlock Creativity and Innovation. The incredible speech has inspired many of those in attendance, as well as the 100k+ viewers online.
Discussing the ideas that has seen him collaborate with the likes of Coca-Cola, IKEA and AXA, Ken taps into innovation, the Internet of Things, big data, digital strategy, shopper marketing, behavioural economics, cyber psychology and retail futurology to offer audiences a completely unique presentation. Displaying unwavering drive, as well as a deep rooted passion for the subject, Ken has become one of the most in-demand motivational speakers of today. Famed for his relentless energy, his speeches merge the mundane with the astoundingly untrodden to reveal contemporary approaches to old problems. As the CEO of Glacier Consulting, he has worked with numerous corporations to help lift the lid on the latest trends and insight that can give their marketing strategies the edge.
Putting the consumer at the heart of everything he discusses, Ken paints a picture of the modern consumer, and moulds his speeches to meet the needs of any specific corporate event. The ideal consumer behaviour expert, ideal to engage with a keynote speech or even participate in a fireside chat format, there is no doubt that Ken Hughes is the real deal, able to stimulate exciting debates, emphasise the need to dig deep into data available and develop marketing strategies that are fluid and profitable.
