Jemima Gibbons

Jemima is an award-winning social media consultant and author. She picked up her comms skills in the 1990s, producing talk shows and factual entertainment for the likes of Sky, ITV and MTV. The love of Jerry Springer-esque drama and fascination with everyday stories made her an early convert to the power of "social" media. In 2001, she took an MBA in eBusiness, won a distinction for her dissertation at RDF Television, and set up consultancy iKnowHow - advising clients how to work with interactive, digital technologies. 

Jemima's critically acclaimed book on social media and management, “Monkeys with Typewriters” was published by Triarchy Press in 2009. Jemima is a founder member of the Hospital Club (London’s club for creative entrepreneurs) and an RSA Fellow. She recently stood down from the RSA Fellowship Council where she served three years as an elected Councillor, chairing the digital engagement working group from inception and representing Fellows on the inaugural Technology Strategy Programme Board.
