Jonathan Richards

Job: Right Brain Course Director and Creative Director
Favourite film: Apocalypse Now

I’ve been in the creative industry for 9 years and in advertising for 20 years. I started out when red braces and mobiles the size of army field telephones where all the rage. I’m a wordsmith by trade abut as Creative Director I’ve not only helped organisations with advertising but also how they build cultures that encourage creative thinking. What I hope to do with these courses is give people the confidence and direction to achieve their plans. Most of all it’s about fun. Life’s too short not to discover your talent. I get paid for thinking up audacious, radical ideas and that makes life worth living.
