In this episode of Future Fuzz, Justin speaks with Neil Davidson, CEO of London-based creative agency HeyHuman. They dive deep into the future of creativity in advertising, exploring how generative AI is reshaping agency roles, what the future of content creation looks like, and how smaller, nimble teams might outmaneuver larger agencies. Neil also shares his personal journey of repositioning HeyHuman, integrating behavioral science into strategy, and how neuroscience has influenced their creative development process. The conversation is rich with honest insights about leadership, industry change, and what brave, human-first advertising can look like in the age of AI.Guest BioNeil Davidson is the CEO of HeyHuman, an award-winning creative agency recognized as one of the Sunday Times' Best Places to Work in 2024. With a background in agency leadership across the UK and Europe, Neil combines commercial acumen with academic depth - holding an MBA, an MA in Creative Writing, and currently pursuing doctoral research into generative AI's impact on agency creativity. At HeyHuman, he has spearheaded the integration of behavioral science and neuroscience into campaign development, creating bold, effective advertising grounded in human understanding.TakeawaysGenerative AI will push creative agencies to polarize: big agencies leveraging scale, and small “creative curators” thriving with tools.Repetitive creative tasks like social media content are increasingly automatable - only human-authentic brands may resist this shift.Great content isn't necessarily increasing, even if content volume is. Generic work risks becoming the norm.Clients still crave transformative creative work, but organizational risk aversion hinders bold decision-making.HeyHuman's behavioral science framework centers on three deceptively powerful questions about audience behavior and decision-making.Effective ads balance the unusual with the familiar - “unusual everyday” content sticks.Bravery and trust between agencies and clients remain central to outstanding creative work.Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Introduction to Neil Davidson 01:11 The AI Threat vs. Creative Reality 03:20 Big vs. Small Agencies in the AI Age 04:33 Is Social Content Toast? 06:04 Are We Losing Creative Greats? 08:38 Behind the Scenes: A Royal Navy Campaign Disaster 10:25 Client Risk Appetite and Creative Bravery 13:11 The Repositioning of Heyhuman 15:40 Reflection on Leadership and Taking Stock 18:34 Behavioral Science in Practice 21:06 The Three-Question Behavioral Framework 23:42 Unusual Everyday: Neuroscience and Advertising 26:03 When Packaging Beats Advertising 26:50 Wrap-up and Final ThoughtsWhite PapersSee our HeyHuman White Papers14 Brand RelationshipsLinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Neil on LinkedIn here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Justin on LinkedIn here

While the introduction music is that of Varn Vlog on this podcaster, this series will be simultaneously released on both the Varn Vlog podcast feed and the Regrettable Century podcast feed.   This is a long-running series we are doing on understanding social technologies, relationships of production, and how we get here:  i.e. what is the social and class history of the past.   In this episode, begin discussing sections of "Class Conflict and the Crisis of Feudalism: Essays in Medieval Social History" by Rodney Hilton.Wondering why British Marxists are often overlooked? Or perhaps you're curious about the fiery debates over the existence of feudalism that once captivated French and British historians? Step aboard as we embark on a fascinating journey through the world of Rodney Hilton, a significant figure in the British Marxist tradition. Fasten your seatbelts, it's time to dive headfirst into the complex world of feudalism and minoralism. During our discussion, we'll be using Rodney Hilton's contributions as a guide, comparing the perspectives of the British Academy and the French Academy. From the origins of feudalism to Marx's views on it, we'll leave no stone unturned when it comes to these historically significant systems. We'll also discuss the complexities of class formation, and the tension between feudalism and capitalism.We'll also offer insight into the revolutionary pessimism versus misanthropy debate, utilizing Neil Davidson's book, "How Revolutionary Were the Bush War Revolutions", as a springboard. Join us as we dissect the concept of revolution, investigating its application in different societies and its significance in shaping social order. Offering a rich and engaging discussion, this is an episode you won't want to miss. It doesn't matter if you're an academic, an enthusiast, or just intrigued by history and politics - there's something here for everyone. Let's embark on this intellectual journey together.

This week is the podcast's 20th episode anniversary so I thought I would do something special! We have Rafael Gomez, Head lecturer at QUT, Angus Chapman Senior design manager at Topconn, Sara Pontoppidan Industrial Design Director at Clandestine Design Group, and Neil Davidson CEO of Clandestine Design Group. They represent varying sectors of design making the conversation all the more intersting.

The last several decades have seen a mass consolidation of wealth among a few, the rest of the world left to various degrees of dispossession. On top of this, the revolutionary movements that characterized much of the 19th and 20th centuries have generally disappeared or retreated, reform being the name of the game for most progressives. In spite of this, revolutionary movements and events have actually increased in the last few decades. This seeming contradiction is one of the animating ideas of the new essay anthology Revolutionary Rehearsals in the Neoliberal Age: Struggling to Be Born? (Haymarket Books, 2021). A sort of spiritual sequel to the 1987 collection Revolutionary Rehearsals, this book contains several essays on revolutionary movements of the neoliberal era, bookended by more theoretical chapters on the nature of social and political movements. International in scope, the essays start with struggles in Eastern Europe at the end of the Cold War and end with the Arab uprisings in Egypt. In between are essays on South and Sub-Saharan Africa, Indonesia, Bolivia, Argentina and Latin American Pink Tide movements. The bookending essays deal with theoretical questions; the nature of political movements, contexts in which those movements arise and how change can actually be brought about. Grounded in the reality of our dire political situation but animated by the hope that change is always nevertheless a real possibility, the essays here will provide excellent starting points for activists to think critically about their own situations and how they might rise to meet them. Gareth Dale is Associate Head of the Department of Social and Political Sciences at Brunel University in London. His recent books include Karl Polanyi: A Life on the Left and Reconstructing Karl Polanyi: Excavation and Critique. Colin Barker was a lifelong activist and author. His many publications included Revolutionary Rehearsals (1987) and Marxism and Social Movements. Neil Davidson was a lecturer in sociology and political science. His many publications included How Revolutionary Were the Bourgeois Revolutions? and Discovering the Scottish Revolution. Learn more about your ad choices.

On the socialist case for Scottish independence. David Jamieson and Cat Boyd, writers and hosts of Conter, the Scottish anti-capitalist website and podcast, join us to to talk about the prospects for Scottish independence in advance of the Scottish parliamentary elections in May. Would an independent Scotland within the EU be a contradiction in term? How would an independent Scotland fare - and what would it mean for the "national question" across Europe? And what's up with the factional strife among Scottish nationalists? Readings: Contercast, podcast hosted by Cat & David Independence Beyond Salmond and Sturgeon, David Jamieson, Conter The Origins of Scottish Nationhood, Neil Davidson, Pluto Press

Beyond the Noise is a Source News podcast, looking at the ideas behind the news agenda. Earlier this month Scotland lost one of its most important contemporary intellectuals, Neil Davidson. Host David Jamieson speaks to Raymond Morell, a trade unionist and socialist who was a long-time friend and collaborator with Neil, to discuss his political activism and theoretical work. They discuss: 2:35 – How did Neil Davidson’s background in working class Aberdeen inform his approach to politics and to Scottish History? 6:15 – He was a rare ‘organic intellectual’ developing many of his ideas outside the academic circuit. Why did this make him an important voice? 12:15 – What was the substance of his intervention into Scottish history, and what political climate did it interact with? 19: 15 – Why was Davidson and important thinker in regards to the Scottish national question and the 2014 Scottish independence referendum?

Knjižica "Don't Just Roll the Dice" od Neila Davidsona je uvodni vodič u pricing, odnosno određivanje cijene proizvoda i usluga, te pozicioniranje na tržištu - što su vrlo povezane teme. Uz brdo primjera kakve odluke su donosile više ili manje poznate svjetske tvrtke, govori o strategijama i načinima određivanja koliko neki proizvod vrijedi i koliko se treba i može naplatiti. Na primjer, osim same cijene produkcije, bitno je odrediti koliku vrijednost donosi marketing, zajednica korisnika / kupaca, te čak i konkurencija. Starija verzija ove knjižice je dostupna na Amazonu, no za lektiru donosimo novu verziju koju je moguće besplatno skinuti kao PDF knjigu ovdje. Knjiga je dovoljno kratka i zanimljiva da je moguće pročitati u jedno popodne. Sve lektire Surovih Strasti nalaze se OVDJE. Pišite feedback!

Last week, on October 28, Boris Johnson—the British prime minister who said he would “rather be dead in a ditch” than request another Brexit extension from the European Union—requested and received such an extension from the European Union, making this the third time that Brexit has been delayed since the June 2016 referendum. In anticipation of the deadline, the Harper's Podcast convened four experts and participants in U.K. politics—David Renton, James Foley, Cat Boyd, and Richard Seymour—to discuss the complex political landscape of Brexit, its possible implications for different sectors of the population, and the hope that may lie in the situation's vast and continuing uncertainties. This forum is an extension of a conversation between socialist writer Ashley Smith and University of Glasgow professor Neil Davidson that was published in New Politics. An excerpt from that interview was reprinted in the October issue of Harper's Magazine. The episode was co-moderated by Smith and Harper's web editor Violet Lucca. Cat Boyd is a trade-union organizer in Glasgow. James Foley is a postdoctoral researcher at Glasgow Caledonian University and the author of a forthcoming book on Scottish independence, which will be published by Verso in 2020. David Renton is a barrister, historian, and long-standing anti-fascist activist. Richard Seymour is a founding editor of Salvage magazine and author of The Twittering Machine. His writings can be read on Patreon.

Neil Davidson is Managing Director of Hey Human (London), “the behavioural communications agency.” Hey Human started five years ago – the world was changing, brands were changing, and people were changing (and all of them still are), but agencies? Same old, same old. Neil questioned, “What could be done to change the way agencies work . . . so they could effect change in the way brands behaved?” Hey Human is an attempt at an answer. The company may be structured by classic relationship strategy and creative skillsets, but team members are not siloed in their roles. Anyone can contribute to the client relationship building, to strategy development, to the creative piece . . . the work is done through collaboration. How is branding different today? Neil notes that the relationships between people and brands are shallower and more fleeting than in the past. Brand loyalty is tenuous. Brand LOVE is rare. Brands that are thriving in today's marketplace connect with people in more human ways than legacy brands have in the past. How can brands better connect with their customers? Neil discovered that what a brand could do depended on its category. Some categories, like sporting or alcohol brands engender high, positive emotional engagement. People are likely to feel less-connected/neutral to negative with other categories; e.g. financial services. A new brand in a category where people are less connected may benefit by projecting more human-centric content in its marketing communications. Hey Human relies on behavioral sciences and neuroscience to identify ways to reinforce connections with people, and develop more connective content. Neil presented “Advertising Detox: How to Reduce Cognitive Load” at the 2019 South by Southwest Conference in Austin, TX, where he and Hey Human's neuroscience consultant, Aoife McGuinness, utilized brain monitoring equipment to “demonstrate the cognitive effects of different forms of advertising.” His company applies this knowledge with its clients, with the goal of “creating effective content that stimulates rather than drains [potential customer's] brains.” He feels strongly that companies need to recognize their key brand assets. Even though most people know that a logo is not the same thing as a brand, they often shortcut their thinking to that conclusion. The proof of that statement comes in those cases where a marketing communication is shown to be more effective without the company's logo. Hey Human won the Drum Agency 2018 Business Transformation Award and was a finalist for the Thought Leadership Award. The Business Transformation award recognizes Hey Human's application of new ways of thinking and working to unlock growth for the agency and its clients. Their byline: “We grow Human Brands through changing behaviours” sums up their approach to working with clients.

Beyond the Noise with David Jamieson is a weekly podcast with CommonSpace journalist David Jamieson, where he gets behind the 24/7 news cycle and gets to heart of issues, trying to find the substance behind the headlines. THIS week Jamieson speaks to Glasgow University Sociology lecturer and historian Neil Davidson, about the class politics of Brexit, the profound nature of the crisis and its history in the development of British capitalism. They discuss: 2:03 - How a state like the British state is designed to stop the kind of meltdown we are witnessing around Brexit 8:10 - What are the ideological roots of rightwing support for leaving the EU - is it a rational stance for Conservatives? 17:40 - Why the left shouldn't be trying to stop the Brexit crisis, but rather see it as an opportunity. 27:07 - Is the working class in a position to intervene in the Brexit crisis? What resources does it have for that fight?

SXSW’s reputation as a barometer of tech culture has relevance for any brand, business or individual interested in the future of our digital lives. In this episode Christian Ward talks to festival regulars Neil Davidson, CEO of HeyHuman and Stylus’ Media & Marketing Editor Julia Errens about the key trends from this year. 

This week we bring out a bonus conversation with author and immigrant justice activist Justin Akers Chacón (who talked with us about border politics in episode 18) about his new book Radicals in the Barrio: Magonistas, Socialists, Wobblies, and Communists in the Mexican-American Working Class, published by Haymarket Books. Justin is a San Diego-based professor of U.S. History and Chicano Studies. In addition to Radicals in the Barrio, he’s the author of No One is Illegal: Fighting Racism and State Violence on the U.S.-Mexico Border, which he has recently updated and republished with Haymarket. Jen was out of town for this conversation, so Lupita Romero (our Episode 4 guest) joined Danny to talk with Justin about the under-appreciated legacy of Mexican and Mexican-American socialists and anarchists in the formation of the U.S. left. Justin talked about the legacy of the Mexican Revolution on both sides of the border, and some of the inspiring victories and devastating defeats of farmworkers, miners and factory workers in the first half of the 20th century, who faced the threat not only of mass firings and police violence but also deportation. In our opener, we talk about the smear campaign and attacks on Jeremy Corbyn in Britain. Corbyn is the enormously popular leader of the Labour Party and has been responsible for bringing hundreds of thousands of young activists into Labour and helping to revitalize the left. But he is hated and feared by the British establishment and has come under sustained attack. Zionists have attacked him over accusations of anti-Semitism. This week we discuss a turning point in this campaign, one that represents a threat to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement in solidarity with Palestine.

For the 110th episode of the Scottish Independence Podcast I spoke with Neil Davidson, an academic and writer, and Colin Fox, leader of the Scottish Socialist Party.It's a slightly different episode in that it is 2 discussions about the EU, both from a socialist perspective. One of the interviews makes the left wing case for leaving the EU, and the other makes the left wing case for staying in the EU.These interviews were conducted a couple of months ago for the SSP podcast, who asked me to do a few interviews for them and I accepted (NB - as ever, the Scottish Independence Podcast is unaligned with any party or group and regular listeners will know we regularly feature SNP, SSP, GREENS, Labour for Indy, Libdems for Indy and all sorts of unaligned people and independent groups).The reason for doing these interviews is that in the coming months we are going to hear a lot about the merits and problems of the EU, but they are mostly going to come from rightwing perspectives - this is why it is important to start giving some perspectives from the other side of the argument early. Hope you enjoy…If you'd like to help the podcasts please go to www.michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com and make a donation.
