In September 2023 I was invited to present The Age of Average at BIMA Beyond. Thank you so much to everyone who attended, and especially those who message to give such positive feedback. I can’t wait for the next one.

In November 2022 I was invited to give a 45 minute guest lecture to Masters students on the Digital Marketing course at the University of West London based on my article The Errors of Efficiency.

In an article for Vanity Fair, the writer Kurt Anderson’s shared his theory that the last 20 years have been the most stylistically stagnant of any two-decade period since 1900. Alex’s talk will explore this idea across a number of different fields. Have film, fashion, architecture, and advertising become more homogenous? And if so, what can we do about it?

I contributed to Isolated Talks, a site aiming to keep creativity flowing during the COVID-19 lockdown and to raise money for the Samaritans whilst doing it.

I collaborated with Julian Cole on a presentation titled “The Art of Questioning Clients”. The project led us to study the questioning techniques of FBI hostage negotiators, the Metropolitan police force and criminal barristers.
