Rory Sutherland is often referred to as the ideas man as a marketing guru who believes perspective is everything. He is regarded as ‘the most influential person in UK advertising.’

Quickly realizing the teaching profession was not for him, Rory Sutherland moved on, becoming a copywriter and creative director at Ogilvy in 1988. His grasp of the possibilities associated with the internet and digital technology saw a meteoric rise within the company he is still at today as Vice Chairman. His interest in psychology had him head up a team at Ogilvy Change, where studies are conducted on the changes needed to affect people’s perceptions, thinking, and actions.

Sutherland has, over the years, been President of the IPA, Chair of the Judges for the Direct Jury at Cannes, and currently writes columns for the Spectator, Impact, Market Leader, and Wired.

A family man married to a vicar, Rory and his family lives in a home formerly owned by Napoleon III and is a trustee of the Benjamin Franklin House (London) and of Rochester Cathedral.
