William Skeaping is a strategist and activist.
Having studied Art History, he started out as an early employee at Google UK, before joining Lex Records as label manager and A&R, working in London and NYC to take specialist content projects to the mainstream.
Developing brand-partnered content projects with rappers like MF DOOM and graphic novelist Alan Moore led to a tour of duty in advertising at McCann London before going freelance as a brand strategist, frequently working with start-ups.
Will joined Extinction Rebellion full-time from launch, co-edited Extinction Rebellion's best-selling handbook 'This Is Not A Drill' (Penguin) and co-founded arts organisation Culture Declares Emergency.
He now works as strategy director at cultural consultancy Arts & Patrons in London and Paris, while developing a new initiative to hold greenwashing CEOs to account. His next book is a collaboration with Memphis rapper DJ Spanish Fly, to be released in 2025.
