The Inspiration Sessions Global Production: wempy.koto@wardourandoxford.com twitter.com/wempydyoctakoto The Inspiration Sessions is a global celebration of entrepreneurship, journeying into the stories, lives and wisdom of the world's most admired entrepreneurs. In the heart of upper class Mayfair near Claridges, Bond Street, Savile Row and the embassies of the world, Wempy Dyocta Koto meets with the United Kingdom's most prominent media and public relations specialist, Max Clifford. Max Clifford Founder and CEO, Max Clifford Associates For over 40 years, Max has been 'protecting and promoting' the interests of his clients including The Beatles, Simon Cowell, David Copperfield, Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra and Mariah Carey. Controversially, Max has been at the centre of political, economic, social, personal and professional media storms with British politicians and super affluent clients like Mohammed Al-Fayed -- father of the late Dodi Al-Fayed who died in a car crash with Princess Diana in Paris. Targeted with countless death threats, Max represented O.J Simpson and tells Wempy Dyocta Koto of his continued belief of Simpson's 'innocence'. Of that era, Max has stated: "I was the only white person in the world who believed him to be innocent". Max and Wempy talk about O.J Simpson and the factors that guide his decision to represent and reject clients. Max talks about family and what matters most in a world where rumors, realities, denials, protection, promotion and perceptions are bought and sold. Leaving school at fifteen years of age, Max entered the University of Life and has risen to become one of Britain's most prominent men, with headlines, clients, political allies, foes and opinions that have united and divided the nation. Sought after by global media during Prince Harry's 2012 Las Vegas debacle, CNN's Piers Morgan affirms Max's media prowess and power by stating: "I have a great deal of respect for Max Clifford. I can tell you that if I was in trouble, he'd be the first person I'd call". twitter.com/maxclifford1 Wempy Dyocta Koto Chief Executive Officer, Wardour and Oxford Wempy Dyocta Koto was named by Fortune magazine as one of Indonesia's "40 Under 40", described as one of the world's trailblazers and a master of global business, for leading and engineering the success of some of the world's most famous brands.
