Podcast appearances and mentions of Simon Cook

Emotion in creativity is an unfair advantage. At least according to Richard Brim – whose consistently Lion-winning career has seen him produce laughs, tears and everything in between for the likes of Marmite, Shelter and John Lewis. For Episode 5 of ‘In The Making', Richard and Simon Cook take a trip down memory lane – lifting the lid on the work that made him, the work that's yet to come, and even the now-iconic Christmas work that very nearly didn't get made.

Back in my corporate finance days, I was knee-deep in valuations and financial due diligence for small businesses. I always joked with my boss at the time that it was the easiest job ever. Just figure out the profit, or what we finance folks call the normalised EBITDA, and then you multiply it by three. But why three times? Why not two or even ten? I'm Jason Andrew, and this is Stark Naked Numbers – the podcast that strips down the numbers of business, investing, and wealth creation to help you become a better entrepreneur and investor, and ultimately build your net worth. In this episode, I'm joined by my good friend and valuation nerd, Simon Cook. Simon's a chartered accountant, and an expert when it comes to valuing businesses. Today we're giving you a masterclass in small business valuations. If you're an entrepreneur that's either buying or selling a business, listen up. This may give you a slight edge at the negotiating table.Links:Follow Simon Cook on LinkedIn. Subscribe to Stark Naked Numbers on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher or wherever you get your pods.

What does it take to make it as an outsider?  From discovering creativity as a first-generation immigrant in South West England, to making work so powerfully simple it could transcend both regional and demographic barriers – there is no one better to ask than self-proclaimed “happy outsider”, Chaka Sobhani.  Chaka takes a seat with Simon Cook to break down the 5 pieces of work that have defined her career thus far, and how the urge to forge connections set her on a course to win multiple Lions – and make history.  In The Making | The LIONS Podcast delves into the past, the present, and the future of some of the most Lion-awarded creative minds across the globe. Hosted by Simon Cook, Chief Executive, LIONS.

In this edition of ASCL 150: Leadership Legacies, General Secretary Geoff Barton talks to Simon Cook, Principal/Chief Exec of MidKent College, and chair of ASCL's FE advisory group.

In The Making is hosted by Simon Cook, the Chief Executive of LIONS which runs Cannes Lions, the International Festival of Creativity. Here he delves into the most inspirational, sharpest and most Lion awarded minds in the creative marketing industry. He wants to understand what inspires them, how their backgrounds have shaped their career, hear about the breakthroughs, the blunders and everything in between. Each episode he asks his guests to choose five pieces of work that help them bring their story to life, from the early influences, to the work they wish they'd made, to the work that's still, very much, in the making.

Here's a question. What terrifies you? This week's episode marks a couple of important moments.  It's the first of a series that I recorded last week at the Cannes Lions festival of creativity.  I have come to learn that Cannes is invaluable on two levels. First, for the people you meet and the relationships you build and develop. Many of the most important and meaningful relationships in my life have been forged and developed over the years at Cannes. And second, because Cannes, in my experience, is where the future first appears. Not on the main stages, but in the whispy smoke of quiet conversations and afterthoughts that happen away from the spotlight, and that, if you're paying attention, tell you that something is changing.   In the months leading up to this years festival, in a series of conversations that I had with Simon Cook - the CEO of Cannes - he and I came to learn that there are two things we both want to change.  We want to change the expectations and structure of modern leadership.  And we both want to change ourselves. Simon is rare. A leader in a highly visible position, unafraid to show who he really is. Together, we agreed that this year, we would share a stage at Cannes to discuss our own, very personal journeys and why we think they are reflective of a still quiet but rapidly emerging new form of leadership. One in which vulnerability is an expectation. Here's a question. What terrifies you? Today's episode was recorded last week at Cannes in front of a group of 37 young creatives from 29 countries who had won places to the Roger Hatchuel Student Academy. It's the most intimate expression that Simon or I have ever shared publicly of who we are. Our hope is that this helps to catalyze a shift across the creative industries of how leadership is evaluated and what it is fair to expect of each other - and ourselves.

It's a special Friday evening edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast with the clock now ticking to Sunday's game. Ahead of that match against the Manly Sea Eagles at Campbelltown Stadium, Joel Helmes and Garry Watson have joined up to talk the latest from 'Tiger Town'. On the agenda of this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast is a number of hot topics, including the announcement that there would be a change to the Wests Tigers Board. Simon Cook is out, in his place comes the former first-grade fullback, John Dorahy. Joel and Garry discuss the move and ask whether this appointment is enough to take the heat off the upper management of the club. There's also a preview of a very special Ambush event this Sunday in Campbelltown with Wests Tigers fans getting a rare chance to have their say on the future of our club. We talk about Tommy Talau and his increasingly likely shift to Manly, either this year or next. There's discussion about Daine Laurie and his move to five-eight in NSW Cup. Does this spell the end of his time as a fullback at the Tigers? Naturally, debutant fullback, and now Top 30 Wests Tiger, Jahream Bula is also spoken about. And we take a look at the game against the Sea Eagles, where it might be won or lost for the good guys. We hope you enjoy this big end-of-the-week edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A woman's revealed how she's been forced to wear a body cam and fears leaving her own home after being followed by a stalker. 28-year-old Anthony Laslett from Addington Street in Margate has avoided being sent to prison. Hear from our reporter who followed the case in court. Also in today's podcast, there's concern noisy people could disturb residents in part of Canterbury as bars and restaurants moving into a new leisure complex apply to stay open into the early hours. A Curzon cinema's already launched at the £115m Riverside development in Kingsmead, and a licence has been granted for a BrewDog craft beer bar. It's been confirmed the Queen's Green Canopy initiative has been extended until March next year to give people the opportunity to plant trees in memory of Her Majesty. The idea was originally created to mark The Platinum Jubilee, with plaques being made by veterans at the Royal British Legion Industries in Aylesford. A children's author from Canterbury is hoping a story she wrote after her god daughter was diagnosed with cancer, will raise awareness but also encourage more funding for research. 12 children and young people in the UK are diagnosed with cancer every day - but it's feared many parents don't know what signs to look out for. In sport, it's a huge weekend for Kent as they play in the final of the One Day Cup. Hear from interim head coach Simon Cook and all-rounder Darren Stevens. And we look ahead to Gillingham's game against Mansfield Town in league two this weekend.

Simon Cook is the CEO of Cannes Lions. Since joining Cannes Lions a decade and a half ago, Simon has served in almost every role within the organization, including Director of Awards, VP Creative Excellence and Managing Director. He is a powerful advocate for the marketing industry, and the gatekeeper of its most coveted award.  

Here's a question. How have you been changed by the last two years?  This week's guest is Simon Cook, the CEO of Cannes Lions.  Cannes is an institution. One built on in-person connections. Like many organizations dependent on human contact, it has struggled in the face of a two year long, global pandemic. Organizations reflect their leaders. Style. Sensibilities. Ethics. Values. Priorities and Intention. All of these come from or are influenced by the person with the authority to say yes or no. The Cannes Lions Festival has built a reputation for many things over the years. At its best, it shines a very bright light on the power of creativity to drive both business and change. And it acts as a shaper and predictor of what comes next. It has enormous influence. Amidst, all that, one word no one has ever used to describe Cannes is humble. Creativity is fueled by confidence. The willingness to boldly go where no one has gone before. But is is shaped and guided by humility. The recognition that creativity for creativity sake is not only wasteful, it is irresponsible. The understanding that when you have enormous impact, how you use that impact has wide and far reaching implications. Until 2020 showed up on our doorstep, confidence was not a scarce resource. But the flood of humility that has arrived in the last two years gives hope that the power of creativity can now be brought to bear in ways that are filled more with hope than hubris. If Cannes does indeed reflect its leader, its role in guiding  and shaping the future will become even more valuable.

In light of the protests and demonstrations against police brutality and social injustice that we have seen across America and around the world this week, we are taking the opportunity to highlight an episode of a podcast published by our sister brand Cannes Lions.

Simon Cook, ACC UK Ltd, talks about being crowned Entrepreneur of the Year

This episode is a conversation with Simon Cook - the Managing Director of Cannes Lions. The focus of the Lions is to explore, provoke and celebrate the power of creativity and innovation in the business world.  The annual Cannes Lions festival is formed by 20,000+ people coming together every June in the south of France and all that goes with that. Except this year. When for the first time in almost 70 years, there will be no physical festival. Simon talked about how to adapt an organization that was built for one reality into one that delivers value to its community even in an entirely different set of circumstances, about the need to eradicate assumed knowledge, and about why walking in London is so important to him.

Ricardo Dias is the vice-president of marketing at Ambev Brazil which, over the past few years has been steadily raising its game, climbing the creative rankings and picking up Lions for a spread of creative work following a dramatic transformation of their internal culture. Ricardo and the Brazilian team were one of the first in the world to take action to the global crisis and respond to a problem which we're all facing now, and this problem doesn't just affect beer sales and customer revenues, but human life. In this episode, Ricardo talks to Simon Cook, Managing Director of Cannes Lions, about the story behind their decision to shift their production from beer to hand sanitiser, practical advice and thoughts on the future that awaits us.

You may know that LoveFilm became Amazon Prime Video, that part of the deal was public knowledge. What you may not be familiar with is the wrangling, the deal making and the allegiance swapping that went on behind the scenes to get the deal across the table. In this very special live episode of Secret Leaders we once again sit down with serial entrepreneur and angel investor, best known for creating Lovefilm and being an early investor in Secret Escapes, ‘the subscription guy’ William Reeve and VC Jedi, Simon Cook, to discuss the ins and outs of one of the most complicated business sales in recent history - when LoveFilm sold to Amazon. Because this deal wasn’t straightforward in the slightest. A series of unusual mergers, buyouts, disputes and much more led to this being one of the more complicated deals of both their lives. In fact, the only way to explain how convulated the deal was, is by comparing it to the plot of Game of Thrones. Simon was the VC on the board throughout the whole deal and Will was the founder of LoveFilm, yet neither of them are 100% clear on what went down. It’s very rare to hear such insights from such a high profile sale, so grab a notebook and pen and learn what it takes to not just grow a subscription business, but how to sell it to a behemoth like Amazon. “They [Amazon] could see we were winning. They said ‘we do not believe in being a loser in anything we do. We'd much rather have a small piece of the winner, than a big piece in the loser.’ And that was their indication they'd much rather sell to us than compete with us.”We chat about:Building up LoveFilm and plonking flags in EuropeWhy competition drives business forward and sparks innovationWhy they teamed up with Amazon to defeat NetflixLessons learned - venture debt, paying attention to working capital and why raising venture capital is the worst thing a business can doLinks:https://www.secretleaders.com/william-reevehttps://www.secretleaders.com/s01e15-simon-cookWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

“The Creativity Catalyst”.  Simon Cook is the Managing Director of Cannes Lions. In my experience, it is the most valuable business week of the year, the convergence of people and ideas creating new networks of both the neural and personal kind. Simon and the Cannes Lions team believe that creativity is a catalyst for business and personal growth. If you’ve listened to this podcast before you know that I do too. Passionately. In fact it’s why this podcast exists. To unlock the most powerful fuel available to the business world - creativity - through the most valuable levers - business leaders. This is not an easy challenge. It is not a straight line. For the simple reason that creativity confuses people.

Gamelan degung from Sunda/West Java Sekar Enggal is a London-based ensemble performing traditional Sundanese music from West Java, Indonesia. The group was formed in 1992, when the first set of gamelan degung instruments arrived in the UK. The ensemble is directed by Simon Cook, who began playing gamelan in the Netherlands in 1979, and subsequently spent 12 years in Indonesia, where he studied Sundanese music. Gamelan degung is unique to Sunda. It developed during the 19th century in the courts of the Bupati (Regents); since Independence in 1945 degung has become increasingly widespread, nowadays often played at wedding receptions. It has also become the vehicle for a certain type of Sundanese popular music (degung instrumental), which enjoyed phenomenal commercial success in the late 1980s.
