Nice and Serious - Expert Impact

Ben Meaker,

Nice & Serious

Met with Chris Gorell Barnes

Nice and Serious isn’t your average creative agency. We do much more than just conjure up ideas. We aim to make the world a better place by helping you communicate your sustainability message.

Ben founded Nice and Serious to bring together his love of the moving image and his passion for sustainability.

Ben has a degree in Environmental Sciences from the University of East Anglia and a Masters in Science Communication from Imperial College London. Ben has a keen eye for photography and enjoys using the medium of film to tell engaging stories about people and the environment.

Ben has previously worked for a number of sustainability communications agencies in London where he learned how to combine science, social marketing and advertising to create engaging messages. In 2009 and 2010, Ben was listed as one of the Future 100 Ethical Entrepreneurs of the year after setting up Nice and Serious with Tom.

He was able to look at my vision for the company and tell me how he thinks we can get there based on his own experience as a successful entrepreneur. His first hand advice was brilliant!
