About

I’m Nic Hodges. I work at the intersection of technology, media and culture. Over two decades that’s meant leadership roles at agencies including M&C Saatchi, Clemenger BBDO and MediaCom, leading commercial innovation at News Corp and Foxtel, and founding Robot Deputy, a media technology startup. I ran my own consultancy, Blonde3, advising on strategy, brand and technology for leading media companies and startups in Australia and the US. I then led innovation at Reece Group before moving to Trout Creative Thinking, where I’m Brand Partner leading strategy and creative, focused on what AI means for both.

Along the way I’ve written for Wired and Forbes, appeared on ABC’s 7.30 and Radio National, keynoted conferences in Australia, Asia, Europe and the US, and written code that’s now in the National Archive of Australia.
