Sam Trainor-Buckingham

Marketing Director

An extrovert by nature, Sam's unusually acute psychological sensitivity and fascination for random human behaviour gives him a keen insight into the world of marketing. Sam graduated from the University of Sussex with a 1st class degree in Contemporary History, and realized the lessons learned from the past, can afford an insight into trends of the future.

Sam soon developed an interest in marketing through early experience in the film industry. His previous experience, consulting to Building Schools for the Future (£178 million Gov funded scheme), on meeting environmental targets places him in a good position to understand current trends and pioneer Ignites new Sustainability Service.

His obsession of food, cooking, booze and culture, combined with creative thinking, drive and a visual flair, make him an ideal member of the Ignite team.
