I create AI solutions for marketing.

 

I have over twenty years of experience helping tech companies, including Google, Ricoh, Microsoft, and VMware, apply new technologies to achieve their marketing goals. 

 

In 2021, I studied AI at Said Business School, University of Oxford, and have since created AI solutions to bring efficiencies to B2B marketing. My specialism is creating custom GPTs on top of the OpenAI platform. These can act as digital assistants carrying out various tasks for your employees. 

 

My career has been far from linear or 'job for life'. I have been driven by curiosity, creativity, and a passion for understanding new technologies. After a spell of travelling, where I learnt the power of people's stories, my career began with a bursary at the BBC, after which I ventured into radio and TV production, producing projects for MTV and the Pepsi Network Chart Show in the UK. Working as a launch producer for Heart FM in London, I was later invited to rejuvenate the Kiss FM brand and, producing the morning show, our team garnered accolades such as a Sony Gold Award, MOBO, voted in the 'Top Three Most Influential Radio Programmes in the UK' by The Guardian. 

 

My passion for electronic music led me to contribute to the prototyping and testing of the first digital DJ systems. My broadcast knowledge and interest in music also brought me to unique and meaningful places, such as DJ'ing for NATO to unite young people in war-torn countries. 

 

Driven by my curiosity and thirst for new challenges, I transitioned to marketing and advertising. After studying at D&AD, I went on to work as creative director for a global marketing agency. While in this role, I studied behavioural economics to understand decision-making theory and behaviour change better, setting up a behavioural change company. Over the years, I have had the privilege of writing and implementing change programs for the Palladium Group, FCDO, and OSCE. 

​

Now, as co-founder of the marketing agency HarveyDavid, I help companies create AI solutions that drive creativity, productivity and efficiency. 

 

Following my love for creating quirky comedy for broadcast, in 2024, I created 'Made in AI', the world's first AI sitcom.  The show follows an AI robot family abandoned by their manufacturers and left to fend for themselves in the real world. It is co-produced and presented by a series of AI assistants.  

 

I sit on the board of Strange Thoughts and Arcade Strange, a tech-led creative activations agency; I contribute my ideas as part of a fantastic team to help drive their mission: technology for joy. This year, I was invited to sit on the Caples Awards jury, focusing on judging AI entries worldwide. 

 

My interest in storytelling and my passion for the digital future have allowed me to share my insights and ideas on platforms like SXSW, TEDx, Microsoft, Google, and The Prince's Trust. My books are available at Waterstones and Amazon. 

 

I live in Bristol with my wife and son, and I am inspired by the vibrant city and its creative energy.
