Aardman’s creative world has been in constant flux ever since their first experiments with technology fifty years ago. Peter will take you behind the studio curtain into the world of Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run for a glimpse of how they have retained creative continuity in an ever-evolving environment. Peter will be interviewed by BAFTA Cymru nominated animation director, writer and producer, Joseph Wallace.
Peter Lord is a renowned British animator, filmmaker, and co-founder of Aardman, Britain’s leading animation studio. With co-founder David Sproxton – a childhood friend – hedeveloped their signature style of stop-motion animation using modelling clay. Lord’s career skyrocketed with the creation of the beloved TV character Morph. As a director and producer, he played a pivotal role in Aardman’s success, directing films like Chicken Run(with Nick Park) and The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists. Lord’s work has earned numerous accolades, including three nominations for Academy Awards. Aardman has thrived for almost fifty years with considerable input from Nick Park, the creator of Wallace and Gromit. With an emphasis on comedy, craft, storytelling and creative integrity, Peter remains willing to experiment and innovate.

BCI Keynote
Every B2B founder or sales leader hits the same wall eventually. In the early days, growth feels personal. You’re the one sending the emails, working the deals, closing on gut instinct and sheer willpower. But then the cracks show up. The pipeline swings from feast to famine. Your best salesperson leaves, and half your revenue walks out the door with them. Your marketing feels like random acts of hope. You’ve got tools, tactics, a CRM full of contacts. But no system. No engine. Just effort.
In this talk, we’re bringing together two frameworks he’s been refining for years. Demand That Scales and Systems That Sell, into one blueprint that will help you take control over the way you go to market. We’re going to cover the full journey. How to generate consistent, predictable demand using LinkedIn and email, without relying on referrals, random inbound, or hoping your content goes viral.
