MITCHELL LINDEN
SVP OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AT 21ST CENTURY FOX (EX CLIENT)
‘Alex is a fantastic asset to have around any group of people driven to do great things.
He brings a wealth of knowledge about "idea thinking" to any situation where people are working to solve problems, create products, or just trying to find their way through the murkiness of exploring what might be.
I've had the pleasure of working with Alex where he has led creative exploration exercises, and I've also tapped his vast knowledge in crafting my own design thinking sessions. Alex is super smart, creative and generous.
If you appreciate the process of creation, and working with others in a really positive and effective way, Alex Hunting is a great guy to have around.’
CHARLIE LYONS
MANAGING PARTNER AT BEYOND (EX BOSS)
‘Alex is hands down one of the best people I have ever worked with.
Super smart, insightful, razor sharp, highly creative and bristling with ideas. He was always amazing with clients and forges relationships very quickly.
As a person Alex is one of the funniest people I know, when the chips are down he will be the person that brightens the room, break the tension or makes fun of himself.
A true asset to any organisation out there. I just wish I still had the pleasure of having him in my team. I really hope that one day in the future I will again...’
NICK RAPPOLT
CEO AT BEYOND (EX BOSS)
‘Alex is not only a super smart person but also bring fantastic energy to any team.
He's both creative and strategic plus pushes himself to learn, which in turn pushes others forward.
He made a fantastic contribution to Beyond helping us grow. I'd recommend him to others, but we'd love him back!’
HELENA RAVEN
HEAD OF DIGITAL at NSPCC (EX CLIENT)
‘What always stands out about working with Alex is the way he gives 100% to every single project. He puts such a huge amount of energy and thought into finding stand-out strategic solutions, and it always felt like he genuinely cared about helping me solve whatever the challenge of the moment happened to be.
Alex has a lovely way of lifting and inspiring a room of people. His creative energy and his passion for seeking out new ideas is infectious, so he's able to bring others along with him, helping them to find the best in themselves too.
A workshop with Alex in it is always going to be fun, as well as delivering great results. I'm looking forward to working with him again.’
TOM DENNING
COO AT BEYOND (Ex colleague)
I really enjoyed working with Alex. He was one one the first people I met when I was appointed as a partner and COO at Beyond.
He has a quality which I really appreciate of a nervous energy which tapped into comes out with a stream of creative ideas. I loved the fact that that I could throw out a problem I wanted to solve and Alex would go into deep research mode and then come come back with an array of options and solutions that you those options.
There are not many go to people I have worked with over that last 22 years who I would want to have by my side in any senior client side meeting but Alex is one of them
NILS MORK-ULNES
Head Of Strategy, Investments AI at AIG (ex line manager)
Alex was a key member on my Strategy team at Beyond for 4+ years, helping create compelling pitches and sell big pieces of work; develop strong relationships with prospects and clients; and always providing boundless energy and enthusiasm to every job.
He is able to combine strategic thinking with creativity, being very comfortable in the problem space. He was instrumental in developing our ideation methodology which was key in evolving us as an agency.
Alex also has strong grounding in basing strategy in qualitative research (interviews, user research, user testing) and uses design thinking, product development processes and strategic frameworks to create meaning from data.
He has the ability to work on broader brand strategy through to more defined product strategy. For ideation processes, he is very good at running workshops and comfortable teaching others, and is an excellent co-creator working well with others across disciplines. I can recommend him highly.
RUDY TAMBALA
Consultant - Strategy, Innovation and Transformation (ex Colleague)
Alex assisted me in qualitative research for Grey's client, GSK.
Quite simply, when his internship ended there was a noticeable void, and so I brought him back in within a month, on a paid contract.
He is independent and reliable, insightful and confident, and a total pleasure to work with.
