Who is Carl Hopkins?
I am many things to many people. To some I have been introduced as “one of Yorkshire’s leading entrepreneurs” and “marketing ‘gurus’” which is very flattering. In 2010 I was voted by others as being in the top 70 of the UK’s most influential marketers outside of London. To many I am perhaps best known for my appearance on Channel Four’s The Secret Millionaire. And those closest to me know me as a marketer and agency owner with over 25 years’ experience.
In 2007 I sold my marketing agency JDA and instead of ‘retiring’ set up kloog, a business development service to share some of the experiences garnered in my career. In addition to launching kloog, I turned my hand to serial entrepreneurship, becoming involved with a variety of businesses that range from training people to return to the workplace to selling sporting supplements. I can also regularly be found taking to the podium, whether it is delivering keynote speeches at high profile business events or inspiring young people into enterprise.
