BIG BROTHER, BIG DATA – How research can make you famous by Christian Howe

At the &more launch event with 100 attendees, Christian Howes revealed how being a digital data geek made him famous. Christian was ‘spotted’ observing the social media habits of viewers of the reality TV show Big Brother. Speaking about his findings on Twitter and Facebook, he got a call from the TV producers Endemol who offered him a weekly spot on BB’s Bit on the Side.

His data insight skills brought him further appearances on BBC1’s National Lottery show, The Hub for This Morning and BT Sport. Passionate about real time behaviour analysis, Christian's data capture methods are trumping older methodologies. Christian is launching a new series that merges modern data with traditional genres .
