"An Englishman in New York, Shanghai and Tokyo" - Speaker: James Hebbert. Speaker Host: Graeme Minto
With fifteen years of international marketing experience, James has lived and worked in Shanghai, New York, Tokyo and London. James’ career began at WPP’s global network; within 6 years from starting the Ogilvy Marketing Fellowship he was promoted from graduate trainee, in London, to Chief of Staff for the Global CEO Ogilvy & Mather based in New York, working across a variety of blue-chip international brands such as British Airways, SAP and Unilever.
Then to China where James spent five years launching and marketing British luxury brands. Now as Managing Director of Hylink London, James is one of the first British MDs of a Chinese corporation in the UK. He combines his digital marketing skills with his knowledge of Chinese culture to promote Hylink’s ambition as a cultural bridge to help Western brands access China, the fastest growing consumer market in the world, and launch Chinese brands into Europe.
James is a regular speaker on digital China covering engagements with the BBC, London School of Economics, China Britain Business Council, Sotheby's Institute of Art and Cannes Advertising Festival. James sits on the judging panel for the British Fashion Council and GQ Magazine Menswear Fund aimed at promoting the next generation of talented British designers to the China market.
