Meet Bond, Tim Bond. He might not have a license to kill, but he does have a license to deliver tactical insight projects across a range of sectors. Which I think is just as good.
Director of Content Strategy and Insight at DMA, Tim oversees and aligns the content strategy with customer insight.
While gaining an MA in Sociology, Tim also was the editor of the student newspaper, and a member of the Lacrosse team. So, he knows what makes people tick, what makes people read, and also how to hit someone with a net-on- a-stick. A triple threat.

What, in your opinion, makes a great #MarTechFest Global presentation?
Engaging, interesting and real.
What bull$hit marketing advice do you hear too often?
Our technology can do that...(it almost always can't)
What’s your biggest martech/ marketing ops gripe? Don’t hold back!
We’ve all read about Mark Wahlberg’s insane 2:30am morning routine, filled with golf and cryo-chambers. What’s your personal morning routine?
What up-and-coming trend do you predict will take the industry by storm?
What was your first marketing job, and how did it help you develop in the industry?
If you could recommend one book, podcast, tv show, magazine, piece of bathroom stall graffiti etc. etc. what would it be?
What is your favourite marketing campaign of all time?
Guinness. So much history, so many missteps, so many successes. Epic brand with some epic campaigns over the years too.
Can our audience expect any future projects on the horizon, personal or professional?
At the DMA we will continue to develop a host of content, but I'm particularly excited about our Future Trends and also Global Data Privacy research, both due in early 2022. On a personal note, I might finally start the cycling blog I've been half heartedly contemplating for 2 years...but I probably won't!.
