Adam Gray

Although I don’t really like the title “expert”, I am generally regarded as one of the UK’s top social media experts, which makes me feel quite proud. I have however earned this as I have spent almost all of my working life in marketing, most of it digital marketing, I was even there working on some of the first online communities in 1998/9.

In 2013 Pearson, the world’s largest publisher, commissioned me to write their first book on social media as part of their “Brilliant” series. It is now a bestseller and I am writing 3 more books examining various aspects of social media and how it interacts with business and society.

In addition to writing, I spend my time working with interesting organisations and talking to groups about the challenges and opportunities presented by social media.

In 2014 I have launched a new project - a social media management agency. This is for clients that either haven’t the time, the in-house expertise or the confidence to manage their own social presence www.adamgraysocialmedia.co.uk

Away from work I am a family man spending as much time as I possibly can with my wife and two children. I love the guitar, I love mountain biking and I love real ale.
