Richard Harriford

Global Planning Director
VCCP

An advertising planner by trade, Richard’s two great loves are the human mind and creativity. 

Richard has never been afraid to ask difficult questions or have difficult industry conversations. He’s written and spoken publicly about ineffectiveness in marketing, his own experience of quitting drinking, and the experience of working with ADHD. 

When Richard’s not noodling about memory he can be found working with clients from San Francisco to Singapore answering questions like how AI will revolutionise finance, and how we get heavy industry to do the energy transition quicker. As he concluded in his last talk ‘I cannot think of a better job to have than answering tricky and important questions through creativity’.
