2. Gerd Leonherd, CEO at Futures Agency: “While designing our future we must be unreasonable, life is becoming stranger than fiction.”
3. Will Critchlow, founder of Distilled: “52% of UK smartphone users are using them to search every day.”
4. Bruce Daisley, Director of Twitter UK: “Plan for the best scenerios. Expect the worst scenerios.”
5. Toby Barnes, Product Strategy Director at AKQA: “Anyone who spends more than £10 on a watch is an idiot. The reason people spend lots of money on watches is so they can pretend they’re in Top Gun. What happens when Apple bring out a watch? I can tell you now Apples watch will cost more than £10.”
6. Sarah Wood, CMO at Unruly: “Vine is leading the agile marketing movement.”
7. Graham Cooke, CEO at Qubit: “Internet Explorer users are your highest conversion users, especially after 18.00.”
