Creative emancipation

We exist to spread a little (more) creativity into the world around us to help make it a better place. PermissionToPlay was founded by creativity fan and marketing strategist, Kevin Mann. With decades hands-on experience helping organisations to transform, innovate and grow, Kevin has seen how corporate culture, fear of change and lack of skills stifles brave fresh thinking. PermissionToPlay is the creativity emancipator he wished had been available to his teams.

Kevin has held marketing director roles at multinationals like Equiniti, Capita and UBS CEFS/Equatex to help shape their future during times of major change. As a non-executive director, mentor and volunteer, he also shares his knowledge and expertise with growing organisations who are keen to make a difference.

PermissionToPlay is an initiative and trading name of marketing consultancy Williamsmann Ltd.
