Having been a foundational member of the practice, he has successfully managed projects for more than eighty major global brands and organisations.

His work spans a prestigious client list including Spotify, Unilever, British Airways, and the European Parliament. For his contributions to the field, Dan has been recognised with numerous accolades, ranging from Cannes Lions to the Nudge awards. Beyond his consultancy work, he has been a key figure in curating Nudgestock, the premier global festival for behavioural science, since its inception. His earlier career involved academic research at the University of York, where he investigated the psychological effects of mobile phone technology on daily life. As a seasoned international speaker, Dan has presented in over fifteen countries at prestigious venues including Harvard University and various national security summits. Audiences book him for his ability to translate complex psychological theories into effective strategies that address modern organisational and social challenges. On stage, Dan Bennett is best known for talks on Behavioural Sciences and Strategy. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Business & Consulting, Education, Marketing & Brand and Science & Research, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
