Darren was invited to deliver a keynote on brand experiences and Chair the first day of Vibe Marketers' Fest in Dubai, November 2018. His talk was well structured, engaging and above all informative. He managed to hold a large audience via a nice mix of objective insight and personal anecdote. Darren also chaired the first day with aplomb. He was able to find a balance between being formal and friendly. This set the event off nicely and dovetailed perfectly with the atmosphere we wanted to create. I look forward to working with Darren again.

Darren’s session at our CXcellence event was well informed, thought-provoking and practical, and dovetailed beautifully with our core message about the importance of CX in B2B organisations – as well as the steps required to do it well. He seems like he knows his stuff.
