Paul Cockerton

Winning 'most likely actor to succeed' at his comprehensive prepared Paul for stardom, a promise that (in his words) has yet to be fulfilled. Despite turning down a job 'as it's mostly made up' for a leading PR company when he was 21, somehow Paul ended up being the first PR person for the technology arm for Psion, subsequently leading PR teams from the world's biggest phone manufacturers to launch Symbian and have Bill Gates unwittingly promote the company by declaring that it was Microsoft's No.1 enemy. Moving into the consumer market, in 2004 Paul came up with the idea and launched AQA, the world's first text a question mobile service. After 25 million questions, Paul exited and launched a 70-award winning PR agency called Dynamo, before exiting again, and has since advised and supported multiple start-ups and agencies in the tech, telecoms and travel world.
