Marc Lewis at the SPEAKERS for BUSINESS Showcase

Marc was educated in the ways of creativity by John Gillard, a legendary educator from the advertising industry. He was then sent to South Africa by an advertising agency but turned his back on advertising to open South Africas first comedy club, which quickly became a chain.

On returning to London, Marc started an Internet company. It was bought for just under £20 million in 2000. Marc then turned to the mobile revolution and is the only entrepreneur to have been awarded two international Red Herring 100 awards for two different companies in the same year. Both were for innovative technologies in the mobile space.

His next project is reopening The School of Communication Arts, which closed in 1994. He hopes to revive its reputation as of the most important and loved schools of creativity and develop another generation of creative thinkers possessing the commercial nous to survive and succeed in the competitive world of marketing.
