Cindy Gallop The Michael Bay of Business

Ms. Gallop joined Bartle Bogle Hegarty in 1989, rising to chair of its US unit and was responsible for a range of major corporate accounts including Coca-Cola, Ray-Ban, and Polaroid, and has been given the Advertising Woman of the Year award from the Advertising Women of New York organization.

She formed MakeLoveNotPorn in 2009 to provide a platform for people to post real-world sex videos, later published a book, “Make Love Not Porn: Technology’s Hardcore Impact on Human Behavior”, and launched MakeLoveNotPorn.tv in 2012, a video sharing site designed to make real world sex socially acceptable and socially shareable.

In January 2010, Ms. Gallop launched IfWeRanTheWorld, a web platform designed to turn good intentions into action, by allowing people, brands, and companies to easily perform, trade, and coordinate “micro actions.”

Ms. Gallop studied English Literature at Somerville College, Oxford University, receiving an MA in English Language and Literature, followed by an MA from Warwick University in Theater of the European Renaissance.

On this ideaXme episode we will hear from Ms. Gallop about:

The origins and ideas behind MakeLoveNotPorn. The burgeoning “trillion dollar industry of sex-tech”. Her work with AARP on its Disrupt Aging campaign and her mission to eliminate ageism in advertising. About the IfWeRanTheWorld organization.
