About Ruby Pseudo

pseu-do [soo-doh] from Gk, comb. form of 'pseuds' [false]...

Ruby Pseudo Consulting [RPC] is a global youth planning and research consultant agency set up by Ruby Pseudo [AKA Jenny Owen.] With a network of over 1,500 youths across the world, RPC has worked with clients like Nike, Nokia, The Guardian, COI and The Legacy Trust. Whilst the agency was only set up in 2008, Ruby had previously worked as a the Consumer Insight and Ideation manager at Nike for several years, working across the brand globally to help on new product, marketing direction and immersion initiatives. Following her time at Nike [whilst continuing to be retained by the brand as a consultant and subsequent agency to this day] Ruby moved to JCPR/Edelman as their Head of Brand Culture and Insight, working with clients likes Microsoft and Unilever. After two years at Edelman, she joined advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy as their consultant Youth Planner and now runs RPC full time. 

The RPC Network currently stands at around 1,500 kids worldwide and covers Asia, North America, South America, Australia and Europe. Working with key youth gatekeepers across the world means the network can naturally expand and contract as necessary. It also keeps things personal and kind; RPC can remember birthdays, names and nuances, keeping in touch with them as friends and supporting them whenever need be. The team at RPC, headed up by Ruby, include: Tarik [20], Tamika [19], Ellie [21], Nate [21], Kate [22] Jamie [23], Rosie [24] and Shaun [25] - in this respect, and alongside our global gatekeepers, we are very much an agency without bombast. 

The blog, Ruby Wants A Word, helps celebrate and show-case some of our network, with bloggers writing from east and west coast America, the UK, France, Italy, Belgium, Japan and even Romania. 

 Ruby is the global youth expert for Canvas 8, a writer for PSFK [along with Tarik and Shaun], has written for MTV Sticky magazine, Clash magazine and is currently writing a book.
