B.J Cunningham

Angel of Brand

BJ is the Angel of Brand.

He possesses a rare combination of business and creative credentials. He is a successful entrepreneur and acknowledged thought leader in the field of branding, brand marketing and communications.

He is probably best known for setting up the Enlightened Tobacco Company plc which marketing and manufactured DEATH™ Cigarettes. His sell was simple: if you're going to smoke, know it might kill you, so smoke DEATH. The tobacco cartel tried to shut the company down, so BJ moved the company to Luxembourg and started a mail order service allowing UK smokers to buy their cigarettes without paying excise duty. In what he describes as a "vertical learning curve", this resulted in a spectacular tax arbitrage scheme, threatening to overturn the tobacco industry and open up Europe for the consumer. It took him to the doors of the European Court of Justice where, up against the combined might of the tobacco industry and every member state of Europe, he lost his case.

Applying his verve and irreverent reputation he established an Integrated Brand Marketing agency built on his business experience and the philosophy of ‘Corporate Religion’. He won business as diverse as Volkswagen, Canon, Fairline Boats, Korn Ferry and Red Devil. He successfully sold the Agency after three years in 2001.

In his usual provocative style, BJ challenges businesses and entrepreneurs to re-examine the truth and to re-examine their brand.

Daniel Cohen

Global Angel

With a career spanning over 25 years, Daniel is one of the few individuals to have built and led three, top-ten, consumer PR practices: Harrison Cowley, Trimedia and Grayling.  At Atomic, a Silicon Valley based integrated agency renowned for its pioneering use of analytics, he grew the agency to be one of the most successful challenger shops across EMEA. More recently at LEWIS, he led consumer and digital teams across EMEA, sparking a renaissance of strategic and creative strength.  Regarded by some old bloke down the shops as a ‘veteran’, Daniel’s eternal youth still features in the PR Week Power Book, a list of the most influential and respected comms professionals in the UK.  

But it’s his work for clients which has always been Daniel’s driving force.  From creating the world’s first food waste campaign, Love Food Hate Waste, to creating AVIS’ most successful integrated campaign ever and turning around McDonald’s reputation, his client list reads like a Who’s Who of prestigious brands.  National Lottery, Nestlé, Coca Cola and PayPal all won awards under his leadership and, as the creative and strategic lead for Diageo spirits, British Airways, Hilton, McDonald’s, Pernod Ricard and M&S, his experience stretches beyond the boundaries of PR. 

He stands by “better never stops”, is an exponent of adventurer Norman Vaughan’s mantra, ‘dream big, dare to fail’, and believes all brands need to be more single minded and simpler in their communications.  “Let’s face it. Life’s complicated enough as it is.”
