South West Council

Chris has 15 years’ experience helping businesses to create better products, services and communications. He started out as a writer for branded print publications but quickly became interested in the way digital technology was changing how brands could interact with their audiences and customers. He went on to help a number of newspapers and magazines take their first forays into building digital platforms and communities. For the last seven years Chris has worked at Zone, where he has worked with the likes of Adidas, the Nike Foundation, BT, Channel 4 and the London School of Economics to improve their customer experiences. He moved to Bristol in 2014 to help establish Zone’s Bristol office in the city, which has now grown to more than 100 people servicing  clients such as BMW , Electrolux and Greene King.

Candi is a born again content lover and psycholinguistics geek based in Bristol. Having graduated with a degree in English Language and Linguistics, she’s been obsessing over the endless power of good, clear communications for over a decade.

Day-to-day, she wears her Content Design Manager & Strategist hat for the world’s largest building society. By night, she writes books and has three published and counting.

When not waging the war against unnecessary jargon and inaccessible, head-scratching content, you’ll find her geeking out at talks, desperately trying to meditate more or seeking out more bright coloured wares.
