Chris West’s award-winning copywriting career spans Saatchi’s to Mother, and he is one of the people claiming to have written the line “You never actually own a Patek Phillipe. You merely look after it for the next generation.” His company, Verbal Identity, creates language which creates value for his clients and uses Text Analytics for Marketing to discover unknown themes in consumer conversations. Chris also writes for the Sunday Times and wrote the Best Film at Barcelona Film Festival.
