50 PLANNERS
TO WATCH IN
2014
JULIAN COLE & LIANE SIEBENHAAR

The
Planning
Salon.
A FEW WORDS AHEAD
The Planning Salon is a platform for all planners around the world to meet and learn from
our industry's greatest minds. We started in 2013 to showcase some of the biggest stars
of the industry, guests such as Gareth Kay, Rob Campbell and Heather LeFevre. One year
and 10 hangouts later we bring the first Planning Salon initiative of 2014:


The 50 Planners to watch in 2014. Rather than rating blog views, Twitter followers or
other unreliable performance indicators, we picked people who produce interesting
content and innovations. People we’d like to have a coffee and hangout with. The people
we think we can learn from in 2014. Thanks to Tangerine for helping collate the list. 


And yes, since this is completely subjective and incomplete we put everybody in
alphabetical order. The first 20 feature people we either already interviewed or we plan
to on The Planning Salon. And then the 31 - 50 list is more of a short and quick overview
of more planners who we’d like to pick their brains … but we ran out of ink.

Partner, Cummins Ross, Melbourne

Probably the most famous Consumer
Psychologist in the world, Adam made the
big move last year from Naked

50 planners to watch in 2014 - The Planning Salon

  • 1. 50 PLANNERS TO WATCH IN 2014 JULIAN COLE & LIANE SIEBENHAAR The Planning Salon.
  • 2. A FEW WORDS AHEAD The Planning Salon is a platform for all planners around the world to meet and learn from our industry's greatest minds. We started in 2013 to showcase some of the biggest stars of the industry, guests such as Gareth Kay, Rob Campbell and Heather LeFevre. One year and 10 hangouts later we bring the first Planning Salon initiative of 2014: The 50 Planners to watch in 2014. Rather than rating blog views, Twitter followers or other unreliable performance indicators, we picked people who produce interesting content and innovations. People we’d like to have a coffee and hangout with. The people we think we can learn from in 2014. Thanks to Tangerine for helping collate the list. And yes, since this is completely subjective and incomplete we put everybody in alphabetical order. The first 20 feature people we either already interviewed or we plan to on The Planning Salon. And then the 31 - 50 list is more of a short and quick overview of more planners who we’d like to pick their brains … but we ran out of ink.
