UKTV’s Simon Michaelides on the benefits of resisting a ‘conventional career path’
From the Eureka moment 10 years ago that persuaded him to become “function agnostic” to the search for substance over superficial success, the outgoing UKTV marketing boss reflects on his lessons from 25 years in marketing.
