Cultural futurist with expertise in social, music, sport, and advertising

James Kirkham is a cultural futurist with a career in social, advertising, sports, and music. He founded Holler at just 23, the first agency in the world to market a TV show using social media. After selling, he spent four years in football with COPA90, Fast Company’s most innovative sports business. While running Defected Records, its virtual festival accumulated over 55 million views and gained worldwide acclaim. In 2022, Kirkham returned to his roots and started ICONIC, giving brands a queue jump to the front of popular culture.
