He is a Practitioner, Speaker and Writer on the creative application of behavioural science to the world’s stickiest challenges.

He has a diverse experience working across the design of products and services, consulting for organisational change and communications across all channels, across many markets. Whether that’s designing first generation tech in Silicon Valley, reducing obesity in Mexico, changing cleaning habits in Beijing, call centres in India or shaping the retail environment in South Africa.

He has led pioneering projects with Spotify, Facebook, Unilever, Nestle, Public Health England, Gatwick Airport, ITV, the Times, British Airways, Mr Muscle, Diageo, Adobe, the EU Parliament, Comic Relief and many more.

He’s been lucky enough to be invited to speak to audiences in over 15 countries about the unseen opportunities behavioural science brings. Some highlights have been Harvard University, National Security summits, Marketing and Social Media conferences, Super Yacht congresses, financial conferences. He has also helped curate the world’s largest festival of Behavioural Science, Nudgestock, since it began seven years ago.
Before Ogilvy, Dan was part of a research group at the University of York Psychology department looking at the real-world impacts of our mobile phone usage.
