Introducing the BBC’s Stefan Shaw to #disruptbrum, 24/03/15.

We’re delighted to welcome the BBC’s Stefan Shaw to our upcoming event at BomLab on Tuesday 24th March. Stefan currently leads their Digital Guerrilla Unit in Birmingham which focuses on content innovation for young audiences.

We had a quick chat with Stefan to discuss his role and what he’ll be talking about at the upcoming event.

“I’m a digital creative with a love for storytelling and innovation.”

“My background’s in digital marketing and I always liked how storytelling could disrupt digital advertising. Likewise, I like how digital marketing techniques can now disrupt broadcasters. In fact more broadly I like how contradictions can lead to new ideas and how the impossible can in fact be a very good idea!”

“At the event I’ll be talking how we are defining innovation within the digital guerrillas and how the audience can forge a path towards an innovation team themselves.”
