About the speaker
Thomas is the CEO/Executive Creative Director at Godzspeed Communications, a Growth Strategy and Creative firm specializing in unearthing and illuminating the souls of brands with purpose. Their vision is “a love affair between brands and communities” and the company is founded upon the principle that brands are individuals not institutions. Thomas believes that the anatomy of business needs change, and that purpose driven brands are leading the way in modelling a more sustainable, impactful contribution to the human experience.
He believes that art is the key to communicating the ethos of a brand, and creating a bridge of understanding among communities. The more meaningful brands are, the more inclusive our communities become.
As an Entrepreneur, Growth Strategist, and Creative Director, Thomas aims to express the beauty and authenticity of every brand that he partners with, and helps them enter into a love affair with the community that they are serving. He is fuelled by his faith, the love of his wife, gratitude for his 3 lion cubs and the beauty of art.
