Ash Rathod is Brand Strategy Consultant & Storytelling Instructor. After studying media and communications and specialising in script-writing, where his love for storytelling started, Ash began work in TV media in Covent Garden London. He worked alongside the London arm of global ad agencies such as Starcom, OMD, PHD Media and many smaller DRTV agencies. His portfolio stretched across global FMCG, (P&G and Unilever) and automotive (Ford and Toyota) brands before moving to Turner Broadcasting (now Warner Bros. Discovery) to work on kids brands (such as Mattel and Hasbro). As the online world began to grow, Ash moved into Digital Marketing where he helped scale the Manchester office of a Bournemouth based media agency, taking him from media owner to client side, which consisted of a team of 20+ designers, marketers, copywriters and BDMs. Before a short sales role at BT (British Telecom) Ash decided to start his own creative agency. Today, Ash still runs that agency which is focused on brand consultancy and design, serving start-ups to corporations over the last 15 years. He is also an official LinkedIn Learning Instructor and a certified Level-C* brand architect, (*the Marty Neumeier school of brand strategists for C-suite leaders).
