The founder

Alan Herbert.

Journalist, prime-time TV host, conference moderator, campaign strategist, voice artist and emcee. Five years of professional journalism and an events footprint across three continents — the anchor talent and founder of Concepts by Al.

The work behind the work

A professional building his own route.

Alan comes from a world where persons with disabilities are routinely told their ideas aren't possible. His response was to build them anyway — and to build the agency that does the same for everyone it works with. His experience of disability is professional context: the preparation and perspective that made him a sharper journalist, moderator and strategist. It is never the headline. The work speaks for itself.

The team

Alan is the anchor. He isn't the whole agency.
