We’ve never… been able to concentrate on one thing at a time.
Will and James have just landed their first job straight out of SCA 2.0. During their single year of studying they created the online movement Donate & Nominate which transformed neck nominations into blood donations. It crippled NHS donor centres, made it into the Metro newspaper and continues to help save lives. It also won them Students of the Year at the BIMA Awards. At 27 and 20 respectively they are one of the youngest full time creative teams in London and their ambition guarantees this is just the very beginning. Will and James aren’t trying to win pencils and lions; they want Oscars and Nobel prizes.

Given the chance, I’d tell… anyone not enjoying their work to move into digital – there are so many diverse and exciting opportunities, especially in the UK.
Wyndham serves as a Board Member for both Hawk-Eye Innovations and Pulselive. As Managing Director of Pulselive (acquired by Sony in 2011), Wyndham oversees all areas of the business and has ultimate responsibility for managing the digital properties and products of Pulselive’s major clients, including the International Cricket Council, World Rugby and ESPN. Working at the intersection of broadcast, digital and social, he has delivered numerous multi-platform fan engagement initiatives, including the first use of real-time voting on BBC Match of the Day. This work led to Pulselive becoming an Official Twitter Display Partner, the first in the UK. Outside of work, Wyndham loves a summer music festival and to travel, particularly during the UK winter!

The next big thing in digital will be… the mass proliferation of screens, including smart watches and connected cars, in the next year or so – and all based on a mobile operating system.
Zac Pinkham was appointed Millennial Media’s EMEA MD in November 2013. As a keen media commentator on mobile and digital advertising, Zac has helped to drive Millennial Media’s reputation in a year when it was crowned Most Effective Advertising Network 2014 at the EMMAs. Zac is a member of the IAB’s Mobile Board as well as a regular speaker at industry events, including Festival of Media and the Dublin Web Summit, where he evangelises to brand marketers on the power of mobile for brands to engage and delight their target audiences. As a digital veteran of 12 years, it is individuals like Zac with his leadership of Millennial Media who are shaping the future of the industry in the UK.

The next big thing in digital… will be when the next billion people in Asia come online and start spending more and more.
