Guy Browning combines the two elements essential for a great business communicator; a firm grasp of commercial issues and an industrial-strength sense of humour.

After reading History at Oxford, Guy Browning started working life as advertisin copywriter at Darcy Masius Benton and Bowles and then went on to be Creative Director of The Added Value Company, Europe’s largest marketing agency. He set up his own company Smokehouse in 1997, an agency specialising in idea generation.

After work, Guy Browning is one of Britain’s top humorous writers. His long standing How To column in The Guardian applies advanced business techniques to everyday life and shows that they don’t work there either. He is a regular broadcaster on BBC Radio 4 and writes ‘Weak at the Top’ starring Alexander Armstrong.

He is also author of a number of humour and serious business books: readers often struggle to tell the difference:

Double Your Salary, Bonk Your Boss, Go Home Early
Weak at the Top; the Uncensored Diary of the Last Cavemanager
Innervation: Redesigning yourself for a Smarter Future
Grass Roots Management: How to Grow Initiative and Responsibility in Your People
Never Hit a Jellyfish with a Spade: How to Survive Life’s Smaller Challenges
Never Push When it Says Pull: Small Rules for Little Problems
Office Politics: How Work Really Works
