Creative Consultant, HANDLING IDEAS, Denmark Paul Tyler founded HANDLING IDEAS out of a 25-year career spanning television, digital media and theatre. Paul enables individuals and teams creating stories, formats, products, services and campaigns to make decisions. He combines an intensive interview and mapping technique to reveal the needs, wants, motives, goals, assumptions and conflicts that can make or break a project. From mapping organizational structures and customer life cycles to business modelling and plotting character journeys, he can ensure that a project team is immediately aligned whilst reducing the time it takes to make the decisions that move them forward. In the past 3 years he’s worked in 20 countries and on over 400 projects. Nominated for a BAFTA (2005), BBC Creativity Award (2004) and Association of Online Publishers award (2005), Paul went on to win the Prix Jeunesse (2006) web award for originating, studio directing and producing the BBC’s flagship cross-media show BAMZOOKi.
