A champion of 'Personal Relations', media values and responsibility, Simon and his team only work with people and organisations committed to positive social change.

Simon is a prolific speaker on media values and culture and is a familiar face at conferences around the world including the World Economic Forum, Universal Forum of Cultures, TEDx, UNESCO, and the Parliament of the World's Religions. He is a regular commentator on the state of the media in the international broadcast media.

A Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Simon is an award winning social entrepreneur, and has been recognised on numerous occasions as one of the most influential people in the PR and media industry. In 2010, Simon was awarded as an Interfaith Visionary by the Temple of Understanding, the world's oldest interfaith organisation, for his pioneering work in generating positive media coverage related to faith and culture.
