Andy Campbell, Founder Specialmove Consulting
As founder of one the UK’s leading game development companies, Red Lemon, Andy secured £2M of Venture Capital and £7m of prestigious new contracts with a number of Blue Chip companies.
After selling the assets to Visual Science Andy joined them as Chief Commercial Officer and Board Member in late 2002. In that time Andy was instrumental in growing the company from 35 to 105 staff, annually doubling turnover, and returning the company to profitability.
In October 2005, Andy left Visual Science to pursue a variety of business interests, start ups and high growth companies; including Specialmove Consulting Ltd where he is currently CEO.
Andrew Grant; Nation 1
Andrew Grant founded 6th SENSE, in June 1999 with just a five thousand pound bank loan and a lot of ambition!
In 2000, 6th SENSE beat off heavy weight competition from established agencies and spear-headed the repositioning of the iconic Brylcreem brand. In 2006 6th SENSE became Nation 1 and transferred 100% of their focus into digital marketing.
Since then, Nation 1 has developed a unique business strategy to create a “Nation 1 blue print”. National and International expansion is the key goal for Nation 1 over the next few years and Andrew will be outlining how he intends to take his company into new markets.
