Richard Hale is a creator who doesn’t run from the future — instead, he harnesses technology to amplify human storytelling.
From the desks of small agencies, through Google and Bacardi, to independent consulting, Richard has spent decades building bridges between culture and tools. His approach isn’t about the magic of technology, but about how AI can deepen brand narratives and accelerate the journey from idea to execution.
At CIM Forum 2026, in addition to his panel, Richard will also be part of the Creative Academy powered by CKB Junior!
This exclusive two-day intensive program is designed for young creatives under 25 who want to work on real business challenges under the mentorship of top international experts.
