At @Cannes_Lions Advertising Festival. With @Reddit celebrating 20 years, I asked Steve Huffman Reddit’s CEO & founder how Reddit’s business model has evolved, especially in terms of scaling advertising without compromising the user experience. Thanks Steve, great conversation

This will be fun and hopefully helpful too. Some interesting insights to share! I would love to see you at this event. Tickets are selling fast but if they say the event has sold out, say I sent you… as I am sure I can squeeze you in. ;-) 27th Feb. #marketing #portfolio #plural

I received this message from friends as apparently it was trending on @popbitch. Yes it's true my father's surname was WEED & my mother's maiden name was HEDGES. So how could not their son become anything other than the President of the Royal Horticultural Society? @the_rhs #name
