Bio

Hello! I’m a senior director in web3 & NFT @ Media.Monks, an integrated content, data, media and technology agency with over 9000 monks around the world. I'm at my best when I'm creating connections in communications between consumers and commerce, even if that is a bit of a mouthful. I studied Marketing and Advertising at Uni over 15 years ago, and have been in the communications industry since. Starting out in PR, I have since worked on or for some of the biggest brands, agencies and consultancies in the world, including the likes of R/GA, Poke, Dare, AnalogFolk and Contagious. I scratched the entrepreneurial itch by founding and running a video production company and tech startup in between. It was like a practical degree in all aspects of business on extremely fast forward. I’m always interested in the latest and greatest in technology. I love collecting things, digitally and physically. Whether that’s boards on Pinterest, print magazines, virtual worlds, NFTs, NFT frens, crypto, football stickers or trainers. And of course all things Nottingham Forest. I’m fascinated by the future of commerce, how physical retail is changing and how in person shops need to become more experiential to differentiate versus the one click convenience of online retail. Accolade wise, I have been featured in the ‘'30 Most Creative Advertising People Under 30' by Business Insider in 2015, the ''Top 100 UK Entrepreneurs'' by CityAM in 2016, the AdTech Shift 100 by KPMG in 2017 and the ''Top 50 in London Creative Tech'' by TLA and the Creative Industries Federation in 2017. Since then I have been the first Head of Digital for Contagious, Consulting Strategy Director at R/GA (digital innovation agency of the year 2019) and latterly Lead Creative Strategist at MediaMonks (the most awarded digital production company). michael.litman@mediamonks.com
