Glyn Parry’s career includes senior agency and
client-side experience. Starting at Corgi-Bantam
books in the late seventies, Glyn was pitched
straight into everything from writing copy to
managing print and production and organising
pink lunches for Dame Barbara Cartland.

However, it was subsequently at Ogilvy & Mather
Direct in London that he worked on a number of
successful and award winning direct marketing
campaigns for major brands including Ford and
Save the Children.

As Advertising and Direct Marketing Manager at
Xerox, Glyn was responsible for TV and press
advertising but was also instrumental in
developing the company’s use of database
marketing and telemarketing. Returning to agency
life at Amherst in the mid-nineties Glyn was a
judge for the Direct Marketing Association.

Having been on both sides of the (sometimes
traumatic) process involved in briefing, planning,
developing and signing-off campaigns, Glyn was
fascinated by the relevance and potential value
of Jim Brackin’s early work into how psychology
and advertising interact and began to also train
in clinical applications. Glyn is a qualified
Hypnotherapist, a Master Practitioner of Neuro
Linguistic Programming and a Master
Practitioner of Time Line Therapy.
