Having spent two decades serving the biggest brands - working at many of the world’s best advertising agencies - Simon offers exceptional insight and vision on the subjects of branding, advertising, creativity and social media. Yet he also brings over twenty years of performance experience (in television, film and on stage) to his speaking engagements. His unique combination of improvisational spontaneity and disarming humor with a seriousness of purpose and keen insight into the global considerations at play in advertising today, ensure each speaking event is a genuine “engagement”. 

Simon's experience includes film (Loser’s Lounge, directed by Janine Kijner), television (Karen Sisco, ABC), stage (King Lear, directed by Patsy Rodenburg), voice work (three seasons of Lost, Brothers and Sisters, Monk and Alias) and over fifty national commercials. For three years he trained with New York’s top acting coach, Larry Moss, and with one of the world’s leading voice and speech coaches, Patsy Rodenburg, of the National Theater, London.
