Biography
James Bishop is an entrepreneur and media connoisseur at heart. Having founded bar staff hire agency Hire The Barman in 2009, he sold the business in 2014 and spent the ensuing year at Goalhanger Films making sports documentaries. Since then, James has invested his time and boundless energy (twice an Ironman finisher) in consulting. His areas of expertise are podcasting and content marketing. From the latest vlogger feuds to the most recent Instagram algorithm update, James knows more about the content world than he will readily admit! His entrepreneurial spirit is infectious - he spent five years volunteering at Young Enterprise UK, where he mentored thousands of young people, helping them expand their knowledge of all things digital. Today you might find James at his newly launched podcast production studio, OneFinePlay. Started as a side-hustle and founded on a hunch, OneFinePlay is redefining purpose-driven marketing, embracing the meteoric rise of audio over the last couple of years.
