MEET TIM ARMOO
Timothy Armoo is the face of the new school of entrepreneurs.
Aged 21 and in his second year of university, he founded Fanbytes helping brands like Nike, Samsung and the UK Government win the hearts of Gen Z through influencer marketing.
In 5 years, he took the company from 0 to 75 people and an eventual highly publicised 8 figure acquisition.

His awareness of what it takes to build new brands and high performing teams, has seen him win many accolades including Forbes30u30, Huffington Post’s Entrepreneur Of The Year and one of the most influential people in media by The Times.
As a thought leader, he has spoken on global stages for brands such as Goldman Sachs, Adobe and Dell on the new world of media and future proofing a multi generational workplace.
His story of growing up on a council estate on Old Kent Road and using business as his way out has inspired 100,000s of people across social media and made him a symbol of change and hope for the next generation.
