Jamie Mustard is an expert on perception in the physical world, a strategic multi-media consultant, art, design and product futurist,  translator of technologies, creative artist and Iconist. He has codified the primal laws of what makes anything iconic––the anatomy of what causes any idea, art or message to STAND OUT and take hold in the human mind, across any medium.      

A graduate of the London School of Economics, Jamie’s work is an explanation of the ‘economics of attention’ based on the primal laws of human perception called Blocks™.  Jamie’s Iconist work has spanned some of the world’s leading companies, technologies, artists, designers, creatives, nonprofits and the globe––Cisco, Intel, Adidas, Symantec, Pacific Northwest College of Art and TEDx at creative giant, Wieden + Kennedy. Jamie was most recently interviewed live on stage at Content London with Mindhunter lead actor and movie star, Holt McCallany. 

When we can get attention at will, we can motivate and inspire others, adapt faster, get buy-in, improve culture, generate demand, increase productivity, creativity and ultimately be more fulfilled as creators and individuals.
