Michael Dowd
COO | michael@c2next.com
There is no corner of digital marketing that Mike hasn’t explored during his decade plus of agency experience. His path has been directed by a passion for technology, data, and the future, culminating in several years as Chief Technologist at GroupM Next. During his time there, he managed the strategy and execution of major technology platforms, including Adobe, Apple, and Amazon, across the GroupM portfolio and stood on the inaugural board of the Kenshoo Agency Council.
Mike also maintains an avid interest in emerging platforms and their impact on the future of marketing and society and has led personalized tours of major tech events for many years, including CES and Mobile World Congress. A man who vehemently defends eSports as legitimate theatre and unironically believes we are living in a simulated universe, Mike doesn’t shy away from any topic and welcomes the opportunity for lively debate.
