Panel 2: The Business of Culture
Timothy Armoo
Founder of Fanbytes, Investor, & Leading Voice on the Gen-Z Creator Economy
Timothy Armoo is the founder of Fanbytes and widely regarded as the face of a new school of marketing.
Starting from a South London council estate, he grew the company to a team of 80, working with brands like Nike, Estée Lauder and the UK Government. In 2022, Fanbytes was acquired by Brainlabs in a multi eight figure exit, making Timothy one of the most successful young entrepreneurs in the UK at just 27.
A Forbes 30 Under 30 cover star, he was described by the Evening Standard as one of the most influential people in advertising. His business advice on social media has since attracted a following of nearly one million.
As a global keynote speaker, Timothy has delivered talks for Fortune 500 companies including Disney, KPMG, JP Morgan and Alibaba on topics ranging from engaging Gen Z to modern leadership and building intergenerational workforces.
He is the pioneering voice behind "Generation Chat", a phrase he coined to describe the new generation growing up with AI and how organisations can meaningfully connect with them.
He is also the author of the Instant #1 Sunday Times bestseller What's Stopping You?, a personal development book that helps ambitious people get unstuck in life and business.
