Tim Perry
Meet Tim:Â
I'm an experienced leader of both agency and in-house strategy, innovation, and design teams.
Trained in industrial design, my professional journey has navigated a route upstream from hands-on design to strategy and innovation consulting.
Over the past 20+ years, I've led multiple major initiatives for global brands spanning sectors from FMCG to Mobility and Consumer Tech.
I oversaw the growth of my own brand strategy, innovation and design agency, Webb deVlam by 3x in six years, to around 100 people, before directing the sale of our international group of companies.
Previously, I led design strategy and portfolio management for Nokia’s largest category of mobile phones. The clear market leader at the time, selling over a million phones a day.
I now work independently, covering three areas:
Innovation & Design Strategy – Clarifying what brands do next
Agency Growth Advice – Invigorating creative leaders
Commercial Skills Training for Creatives – Boosting creative careers
I tackle challenges with a balance of creative intuition, strategic rigour, and commercial acumen. I'm proud to be described as a builder - of business growth (clients' and my own), people, teams, and lasting relationships.

Planner
London
“Whilst the 'business side' of design is fundamental to creative practices, employees often lack a thorough introduction to it, forcing them to piece it together on the job.
I was fortunate to go through Tim's training early in my career, which opened my eyes to the pitching process, negotiating, networking and more.
Tim is brilliant at unpacking these topics, with plenty of personal anecdotes along the way from his extensive time in the creative industry.”

“Tim helped me understand different types of negotiations and how to prepare and get the best out of a given situation.
He armed me with knowledge and techniques that boosted my confidence and sharpened my communication style, which I use daily at work - and in my personal life.”
Digital Modeller
Munich
“Tim's course on what to look out for in client contracts came just at the right moment, when
I was negotiating the terms of a new client engagement.
I'm a creative, nor a contract lawyer, so understanding what clauses to look for that could have a disproportionately negative impact on my business, is invaluable knowledge.”
