Through Mark Adam’s guidance, VICE Media has become the number 2 most creative company in the world (ahead of Apple, Nike and Lego).
Since he joined the company, Mark has transformed VICE from a humble print magazine to a 6 billion dollar empire and the largest and most influential youth media brand on the globe. He’s responsible for creating award winning projects across our 36 offices and a growing group of companies, including
VICE News – Most awarded news organisation globally from 2019-2021, including 4 Emmys
VICE Studios – Leading documentary film studio with 70+ projects for Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Hulu etc
Pulse films – Production Company of the Year 2021
Virtue – the award-winning Creative Agency that help brands create effective, powerful and award winning work.
VICE Records – home to artists like Justice and The Streets.
Recent acquisitions include
I-D – Leading street fashion media for Gen Z
Refinery 29 – Largest digital media and entertainment company for young women
In his humorous and therapeutic style, Mark pushes his audience to fight the fallacy of “innovation as inspiration”, the zeitgeist for hearing and talking about innovation but refraining from the real uncomfortable work and behaviour changes needed to innovate. His method of ‘extreme innovation’ is a process and mindset that is required to achieve meaningful change and will be formalised in a book published by Penguin due 2023.
He offers the insights he shares with global brands, and has been named, amongst many other things, one of the ‘Most Influential Londoners’ by the Evening Standard; one of The Sunday Times’ ‘Top 500 people in Britain’ and a ‘Star of Tech City’ by The Guardian UK. Always looking ahead, he co-founded one of the world’s first social media agencies when it was in its infancy, and is ready to bring his insights into identifying upcoming trends before they happen to your event as well.
