Who is Simon Mainwaring?

Simon Mainwaring is an award-winning branding consultant, advertising creative director, and social media specialist and blogger. He is recognized for his thought leadership on the impact that social media is having on brands and consumers, and ultimately how the new dynamics between them will alter the accepted paradigms of marketing, advertising, and even capitalism itself.

His experience and observations of the trends in social media and the impact of consumer power on brands led him to create the concept of We First capitalism. This is a new set of principles to guide corporations and consumers to reengineer free market capitalism to become a motor of positive global social transformation. He is the author of We First: How Brands and Consumers Use Social Media to Renew Capitalism and Build a Better World.
