It’s a story that involves entrepreneurial ability, innovation, creativity, original marketing and fruit by the bucketload.

Marketing, Innovation and Creativity

Dan focuses on specific areas, such as the key to effective marketing; how to get noticed without spending a lot; how to start your own business; building a brand from nothing; and innovation and creativity on a tight budget.

Innocent

He’s worked at innocent since the company started and is the company’s Head of Creative.  These days his duties include overseeing all advertising and creative tasks, from web to books to packaging to advertising. He endeavours to make sure that the innocent brand grows up to be big and strong, as well as still finding time to draw rubbish pictures for the front of the smoothie labels.

Testimonials

Some nice things that people have said about Dan:

I work at the BBC and would like to say how fabulous and inspiring your talk was this morning. It's nice to come away from something like that feeling recharged and having had a bit of a giggle. The talk was probably a little too motivating, because I've just written to your HR people to tell them how very much I'd like to come and work for Innocent. - J

You’ve been ranked as the number one speaker for the day!! Honestly, I don't think we’ve ever received such positive feedback. - Miriam

You caused me immense grief and sleepless nights over the weekend. It had taken me 3 months to write a strategic marketing plan, all of which I binned after hearing your speech - thanks! - Lee C

Your presentation delivery was close to perfection. It’s not often I can say that a company guest speaker at a conference kept the production crew awake and amused. In fact, I don’t remember ever saying it. - Alex

The most inspiring, and the certainly the funniest talk I've ever heard at these kind of events. -Charlotte
