Book Jason Bevan through The Keynote Curators. 

Jason Bevan is a leading authority on creativity, innovation, and storytelling in the modern business world. As the former Head of Creative Development and VP of European Marketing at Warner Bros. Pictures, Jason played a key role in shaping global campaigns for some of the most iconic films of the past two decades—including Joker, Aquaman, The Dark Knight, Superman, the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series, The LEGO Movies, The Conjuring, IT, and many others. Known for his boundless energy, infectious passion, and ability to develop and execute big ideas, Jason helped teams across 37 countries push creative boundaries and bring cinematic visions to life.

Before Warner Bros., Jason Bevan worked with Disney in both London and Paris, where he led large-scale, high-impact stunts and events that cemented his reputation as a master of experiential storytelling and imaginative branding.

Now, as the Founder and Managing Director of Content Creator Studios, Jason Bevan continues to collaborate with top film studios and entertainment giants while also helping companies across industries unlock their own creative potential. Through keynotes, workshops, and consulting, he demystifies the creative process—proving that innovation isn’t just for the “artsy types,” it’s a critical, teachable skill that fuels meaningful business growth and personal transformation.

Jason Bevan’s work draws directly from 19 years inside the movie industry, offering behind-the-scenes insight into how the world’s most imaginative people—from screenwriters and directors to visual effects teams—generate and execute their boldest ideas. He reveals the surprisingly simple but powerful tools and mindsets that fuel world-class creativity—and teaches audiences how to apply them in any environment.

He’s delivered keynote speeches around the globe, including at TED, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, and for Fortune 500 companies, governments, NGOs, and creative industry summits. Jason is also a sought-after judge on panels for prestigious advertising and innovation awards.

Through his unique blend of movie magic, psychology, and practical takeaways, Jason shows how humans still outperform AI in creative thinking, emotional intelligence, and storytelling. His talks are packed with movie footage, industry secrets, and humor, making for an unforgettable, high-energy experience that sparks action.

One of Jason’s most remarkable gifts is helping audiences realize that they’re more creative than they think. Even those who don’t consider themselves “innovative” leave his sessions with renewed confidence, a practical toolkit, and a fresh perspective on turning ideas into impact.

He draws inspiration from Hollywood legends and from working directly with some of the greatest storytellers of our time. Jason has collaborated with J.K. Rowling, as well as the families of Roald Dahl and J.R.R. Tolkien, gaining intimate knowledge of how these literary titans captivate imaginations and translate personal experience into universal magic. Jason Bevan shares how they channel their physical spaces, emotional truths, and real-life experiences to inspire new characters and worlds—and gives audiences five simple techniques based on their methods that can dramatically enhance creative communication.

Ultimately, Jason Bevan delivers far more than a keynote—he delivers a cinematic, soul-stirring blueprint for turning creativity into your greatest professional advantage. His message is clear: Creativity isn’t a gift. It’s a habit. And anyone can master it.
