Jason Barnard - Speaker

Over 100 speaking engagements since 2015

Jason Barnard has lived four lives in sequence:

  1. punk musician who shared stages with Henry Rollins, The Pogues, Manu Chao, Captain Sensible, and Bob Dylan;
  2. creator and voice of a children’s cartoon character broadcast on Disney that generated a billion pageviews in a single year, built while sitting under a palm tree on a tropical island with a laptop;
  3. the futurist who correctly predicted how Google and every major AI platform would evolve, seven to fourteen years before the mainstream caught up (imagine Charles Darwin, Sherlock Holmes and Thomas Edison all rolled into one);
  4. the founder who built the machine that proves it, now tracking 73 million brand profiles across the world’s largest AI systems.

Every one of those lives shows up in the room: the performer’s instinct for pace and story, the entertainer’s warmth that makes genuinely complex concepts feel immediately accessible, and the conviction of someone who has been right about the future long enough to stop apologising for it. Equally comfortable in intimate boardrooms and in front of audiences of thousands, he brings the same energy to a C-suite workshop as to a festival crowd… because for 30 years, that is exactly what he has done.

He has worked with Google, Adobe, ITV, Samsung, and HP. He coined the terms Brand SERP (2012), Answer Engine Optimization (2017), Assistive Engine Optimization (2024), and Assistive Agent Optimization (2025).

Rated 9.92 out of 10 for his keynote and workshop
at the Entrepreneurs’ Organization Paris Chapter Retreat 2026.
