The “Where’s it all going?” Pop-up Breakfast

Much travelled Greig Holbrook certainly knows his way around an airport. Having lived and worked in Europe and the Middle East, he now owns a digital marketing company with customers in 78 countries.

His seven years abroad sparked an interest in other cultures and the way they use the internet. It led ultimately to the creation of Oban, an international digital marketing company working with world-renowned brands including Twitter, BBC, Dell and Microsoft.

Despite sharing a name with a small Scottish town, the business has its roots right here: Greig established the agency while working as a lecturer at Brighton University. In fact, his Masters dissertation became the early foundations of Oban.

Greig will talk about his mistakes, his triumphs and how his early idea developed into an international business. He’ll explain the importance of following your dream – and of having friends in the business too.

He’ll start to answer the important question of what the future holds for digital, as well as what is likely to happen in the Trump and Brexit era.

He might even tell us where he’s off to next.
