How to predict the future

Adam Ludwin, Co-Founder of Captify

Adam Ludwin is the co-founder of Captify, a leader in Search Intelligence.

After dropping out of university, Adam founded his first digital media business from a computer in his mother’s hallway at the age of 21. In just a few short years, his company Captify has gone on to work with some of the world’s biggest advertisers, including Apple, American Express, Microsoft and Nike. He now runs a team of more than 200 people across the world, and recently raised over £10 million for further expansion.

In today’s episode, Adam tells us the importance of showing your vulnerabilities, how search intelligence predicted Brexit and the rise of Trump, and why he keeps a photo from his first day at school on his bedside table.
