ABOUT JIM TUDOR

I founded Future Index with a simple mission: to make Higher Education marketing brilliant. We’re an inspiration business. For more than a decade, we’ve helped university marketing teams step beyond the echo chamber and see what’s really happening across the world - from universities redefining what’s possible to brands like Nike, Spotify and Duolingo setting the pace. Our Spark Reports, summits and strategy work are well known across the sector for their pace, clarity and originality. The sessions I lead are fast-moving, highly visual and packed with real examples, designed to spark action. Big picture thinking, delivered with energy and intent. At Future Index, inspiration is the foundation. It informs the strategies we shape and fuels the creative ideas we unleash. We champion universities and the life-changing power of education - not only in engaging students, but in advancing research, driving innovation and strengthening communities. We also champion the individuality of young people, challenging lazy generational narratives and standing up for a more honest understanding of youth. I work with ambitious marketing leaders across the UK and internationally who want to do things differently and lead with confidence. LinkedIn has recognised me as a Top Voice in Education, and more than people follow my commentary on Higher Education marketing, youth culture and the future of the sector. If you believe Higher Education deserves bold thinking, better ideas and a wider perspective, we’ll probably get along.
