Neil Spencer
Planned, bought and consulted (audited) on media for decades - the lovely Tess Alps was a sales exec at TSW and Soft Cell, The Police and The Specials were all in the charts (first time around) when I started.
Likes
The game played with the oval ball, ski-ing, golf and family TV viewing (Celebrity, X-Factor).
Dislikes
Cold calls, daytime drivers, dinner parties and getting older!
Hugh Lindsay
I started working as a media planner the year before Channel 4 came on air (you work it out!) and have spent the past 19 years as a media auditor – still fascinated by the ever changing world of media. Married with two children.
Likes
Reading, cooking, pets, wine, DIY, tea, good drama, warm holidays, sport (from an armchair).
Dislikes
Untidiness, blinkered thinking, bullying clients, Coronation Street (it’s the theme music – so depressing!).
Tim Keen
My media life started at Ray Morgan & Partners in the mid eighties and I have bought & planned (at Zenith), sold (at Observer, ITV and IDS) and audited (Barsby Rowe) media all my professional life. Very proud of SLiK Media and what we have achieved since the company’s start.
Likes
Fishing, golf, gigs with the kids and family time. Latest projects – organic vegetable plot and sloe gin.
Dislikes
Retail as a pastime, silent phone calls and lights left on. The words “just” and “only” should be banned.
