UTC@MediaCityUK

One in ten jobs in the North West are now in the creative and digital industries. The purpose of UTC@MediaCityUK is to swell the pool of talent for the industry to recruit from. My role is to help UTC@MediaCityUK bring the gap between the creative digital industry and the next generation of it's workers. 

Why? 

Because the creative and digital industries depend on innovation, so it’s vital that skills continually evolve. Yet it’s also widely accepted that there’s a shortage of people with the necessary abilities – whether academic, technical or practical – to meet the industries’ needs.

UTC@MediaCityUK works with young people in the realms of: 

Gaming.
TV & Film.
Radio & Audio.
Interactive Media & Graphics

As well as the more traditional (and equally important) area of computer science. 

These are exciting times – especially with the massive amount of activity taking place at MediaCityUK. So if you would like to be part of it - be in touch with me on 

Dan.Sodergren@UTCmediacityuk.org.uk 

If you feel you can be part of this - then do be in touch. 

This is probably my most intellectually interesting role / client yet - as has the potential for us to change the way we educate the next generation of multi media creating / code producing talent! 

So I am loving getting to set up meetings with the great and good for UTC@MediaCityUK. 

Be in touch when you can but this role will not be for long as starting my own tech company again maybe working in education as an area of real interest to me.

Keynote Speaker. Public Speaker. Trainer. Tedx. Remote specialist. #AI evangelist. I do talks on #FutureOfWork #AI and #Technology. On a mission to help ONE million people be happier at #work with YourFLOCK..co.uk

As a #keynotespeaker I'm passionate about: #Technology, The #FutureOfWork and #ArtificialIntelligence Aka #DigitalTransformation / #AI.  As a #tedx speaker and media expert I talk about my experiential insights over decades of #DigitalMarketing, #AI, #technology, and the #FutureOfWork. 

With a notable presence across BBCWorld, Channel 4, and ITV, my enthusiasm for sharing knowledge extends to several podcasts, radio programs, and online channels.

Not only do I champion for consumers on platforms like BBC Watchdog, RipOffBritain, and Supershoppers, but I  also was a key expert in 'Real Fake and Unknown'.

Fostering #DiversityAndInclusion is also a cause particularly close to my heart. In tandem with the MPA and #TheBigIDEA, I derive immense fulfillment from promoting #diversity in the tech space and #wfh movement.

Here's a deeper peek into my world: 

First and foremost, I am a dad.

Second, I am a keen #tech #futurist, optimistically observing and commenting on technological trends. 

Lastly, I wear the hat of an entrepreneur diving headfirst into cutting edge opportunities. Often before it's fashionable. 

Leveraging my skills, I formerly contributed to the growth and innovation at www.YourFLOCK.co.uk, working to help a million people be happier at work.

With www.aimarketingcourse.co.uk, I'm leveraging years of marketing expertise to empower businesses with #AI solutions.

And with www.aiteachercourse.com I am helping teach teachers how to use AI. 

Why this keen fascination for technology? 

It's simple: we're smack in the middle of a #DigitalTransformation revolution, a phenomenon that's redefining the #FutureOfWork and businesses at large.

This is the #FifthIndustrialRevolution. 

Juggling various tech-based roles for 25+ years, I bring a rich experience in B2C and B2B marketing, extensive knowledge of the digital arena, and innovative strategies for social and mobile marketing.

Pairing this credence with my entrepreneurial tenacity, I've successfully envisioned and breath life into several productive tech-based startups, some of which populate predicted sectors well before their time.

4Ps Marketing

Started in 2008, sold in 2016 and exited the business in 2018 following an earn out.

The story:

I Co-Founded a digital and data marketing agency a few months before the 2008 financial crisis in an attic on Wimpole Street in London. 

Our first client was a local pest control company and by the end we were working with iconic brands such as;

Marks and Spencer, Ralph Lauren, Melia hotels, Hertz, Gym Shark, JP Morgan, Alibaba, White & Case, Uniqlo, Vivienne Westwood, Jamie Oliver, Selfridges, VW, BDO, Nissan, Argos, L'Oréal, and Benefit Cosmetics.

We made loads of mistakes and the learning curve for a couple of founders in their 20s was huge.

We started with no money and with a fair wind and a lot of luck we managed to scale and sell the business. The key to our success was hiring some amazingly talented human beings who helped us grow and expand year on year.

Thank you to everyone who ever supported us, it really did make a difference.

Co Founder / Co-CEO

Following University I worked in various research, tech, data & marketing entry level roles gaining experience from some very talented people who I will forever be grateful to.

Starting in Colchester and then working across London.

I got to experience diverse working cultures from a educational tech startup, to a business acquired by The Guardian Media Group to a subsidiary of M&C Saatchi.

Thank you to everyone who ever gave me a chance.
