Alongside our talented CMOs and Marketing Directors on panels throughout the day, and our idea-exchange roundtables, we have secured 4 of the leading minds navigating a world in flux for our one day summit ‘The Only Constant Is Change’ on 19 March 2026 at Herringham Hall, London. Secure your ticket here.
What was our thinking behind choosing these speakers?
We wanted trail-blazers who sit adjacent to the marketing industry. People with the ability to make sense of the chaotic world around us. The idea being that by learning from them, our community will leave the summit feeling more like rocks around which the fast-moving rapids of change will flow.
Each speaker will present for 20 minutes a keynote that addresses their take on how to survive in the turbo-boosted era of evolution we live in today. What we must recognise will continue to change, and what may never change – so we can make the most informed decisions in our work and in our personal lives.
Then each will take questions from the floor – you – the audience – for 20 minutes.
So who do we have lined up?
Alastair Campbell
As co-anchor of The Rest Is Politics, one of the world’s most listened to podcasts, every week Alastair is in conversation with change-makers on the national and global stage. A writer, strategist, and mental health campaigner, he is best known for his role as Director of Communications and Strategy to former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. A leading voice in British public life for over three decades, he has combined frontline political experience with a prolific career in writing, media, and advocacy.
Zoe Scaman
Zoe Scaman is a strategist, writer, and advisor working at the intersection of creativity, technology, and organisational transformation. Zoe helps organisations reimagine how they think, operate, and create—blending systems thinking with cultural foresight and emerging technologies. Known for her original thinking and conceptual imagination, her work challenges orthodoxy and expands what’s possible for brands, businesses, and creative systems alike.
Dex Hunter-Torricke
As NED HM Treasury, after 15 years working with Meta, Google, SpaceX and their founders, Dex has put the experience of working at the forefront of tech behind him to tackle the global issues we face as a planet today. For Dex there are 4 dimensions: the impact of technology on the economy, the decline of international order, the rise in societal issues and climate change. We need a radical new approach: to think globally.
Nishma Patel Robb
The ex-Google Brand Chief believes that AI is being trained mostly on male data and voices and the result is a world designed by and for men, and it’s damaging women, society, and even young men who are left with toxic role models. She’s on a mission to adjust the balance and get more women visible – which she does through her consultancy Glittersphere and podcast production company Hera.
Little Grey Cells Club Summit: The Only Constant Is Change – Thursday, 19 March 2026.
The summit gathers 100 of the UK’s most experienced marketing leaders for a day of sharp thinking, honest conversation and practical exchange — no sales agenda, just insight among peers.
Agenda highlights:
- Alastair Campbell on leadership and communication under pressure
- Dex Hunter-Torricke (NED HM Treasury) on AI and the future of creativity
- Zoë Scaman on cultural foresight and strategic reinvention
- Nishma Patel Robb, with CMOs from Ford, Waitrose, Uber and Octopus Energy, on steering brands through constant change
The format is deliberately intimate: cabaret seating, time to talk, and space to build meaningful connections. The day includes breakfast pastries, lunch, refreshments, and a drinks reception to round things off.
