An inspiring speaker and author of two dynamic books: the first focuses on trust, privacy and corporate ethics, the second on leading-edge trends and innovation across a wide range of sectors.
Sean Pillot de Chenecey has given speeches at marketing conferences and cultural events in cities around the world: from San Francisco to Berlin to Tokyo, and from Helsinki to Istanbul to Melbourne. In doing so, Sean’s spoken at venues ranging from the Empire State Building to the Houses of Parliament, boardrooms, theatres, sports centres and music festivals. He’s appeared on podcasts, TV and radio programmes, has written for international business magazines, been quoted across a wide range of international newspapers, and is also a university lecturer on marketing and social trends.
Sean’s first book “The Post-Truth Business” went to No1 in the ‘Business Bestseller’ charts and was a finalist in the 2019 Business Book of the Year Awards. It was the first business title to connect the areas of trust, privacy, disinformation, ethics and empathy. In speeches referencing his book, he takes an inspiring look at how to rebuild brand authenticity, consumer engagement and reputation capital in a distrusting world.
His new book “Influencers & Revolutionaries” focuses on best-practice and leading-edge innovation on an international basis. It describes exciting actions being taken by dynamic organisations across a variety of sectors in answer to emerging trends, social issues and changing behaviour. In doing so, Sean illuminates an extensive range of innovative ideas and solutions; and explains why numerous disruptive trends indicate what the future may hold.
His background is as an independent research/strategy consultant, and Sean has worked for some of the world’s biggest brands re: the ‘Real Now & Potential Next’. He’s done so in areas inc the motor, beauty, drinks, food, retail, IT, fashion, broadcasting, entertainment, finance and travel sectors, along with numerous NGO and Govt projects via ethnographic and trend research.
“Sean provides an incisive view of the troubled cultural and political landscape that modern brands need to navigate. But what makes this book ‘mission critical’ is the rigorous research, laser insights and the intelligence briefings he has extracted from a broad range of experts. The Post-Truth Business is a field manual for marketers.”
“The World Retail Congress is renowned for attracting excellent speakers for each of its annual events. Following on from his previous speeches at the congress, this year Sean gave a superb trend research talk as part of our Leadership Programme for CEO’s. He also chaired dynamic marketing panels with innovative brands and leading-edge agencies. I’d highly recommend him for companies seeking a deeply informed and entertaining speaker!”
“Everything starts with trust – but how do brands reset their moral compass and gain trust in a post-truth era? Via brilliant storytelling and research, this hugely inspiring and insightful book shares compelling examples of leaders, brands and business models showing the way forward. I believe this is the ultimate handbook for anyone who wants to build reputation capital and future-proof their brand in a post-truth environment.”
