Martin Adams

As an entrepreneur I have focused my energies on companies in the media, culture or education space, including companies focused on digital marketing, geo-location and social media. I have also worked as a consultant for a variety of for-profit and non-profit organisations, advising on all aspects of business development, marketing, social media and intellectual property, and negotiated global partnerships at Songkick.com. I am a Co-Founder of the Social Media Unit at UCL, which brings together the digital industry and advises on policy issues relating to social media. Previously, as an attorney at Kirkland and Ellis in New York, I advised on joint ventures and partnerships, and counseled startups and private equity firms on intellectual property, privacy, licensing and other issues related to doing business on the Internet.
