Dave Birss is not your normal keynotespeaker. After many years in advertising, his mind is now focused on applying creativity to benefit a broader range of business disciplines. His methodologies, frameworks and practical exercises have helped to accelerate innovation and idea generation for organisations worldwide. Dave’s obsession with creativity - what it is, its role in history and what makes some people better at coming up with ideas than others - is at the core of everything he does.

  • He’s the author of several books on creativity and innovation. His latest best-selling book #HowToGetToGreatIdeas is the perfect accompaniment to his masterclasses where Dave shows teams how to apply his brilliant thinking system.

Dave is hellbent on using these understandings to help everyone improve their thinking. His dynamic talks captivate audiences with pragmatic advice and tangible techniques on how to tap into everyone’s creativity and unlock competitive advantage for any organisation. Dave’s keynotes, Masterclasses and Creativity Audits range from co-creating meaningful new ideas, to designing education programmes for teams. He’s used to running product development and marketing sessions for some of the world’s most curious companies.

His experience spans many industries, such as publishing, finance, government, education, broadcasting, technology, FMCG, and marketing. Dave tailors each talk he gives, aiming to challenge audiences with plain truths rather than tell them what they already know. He explains the science of creative thinking with simplicity and humour. Dave is on a mission to destroy the mystique around the creative process so that everyone comes up with better, less obvious ideas time and time again. He empowers individuals and teams to harness the innate creative abilities that we all possess. And that all leads to competitive advantage and better results.
