Russell Davies

Catch Russell on Do Radio: Tomorrow's Word with Jon Kaye 8-14 December 2025

Russell Davies is a writer and strategist who’s spent three decades probing what happens when organisations, services, and the internet collide. His name pops up in the stories of big ideas, from Honda’s “Power of Dreams” campaign to Nike’s Run London, and digital work for Microsoft, Apple, and even the London Olympics. He’s also held senior roles in British public sector innovation, like leading strategy for the Government Digital Service, and has steered creative direction in startups and energy.

He’s not just about words or big visions, he builds things to learn what works. Lately, he’s putting his creativity to use as Marketing and Product Director at The Modern House, a platform rethinking how architecture and homes are shared online. And he writes. A lot. Whether it's essays in magazines or thoughts on his own blog, he's always asking: how can we make digital feel more human?
