Royce Akers

About

For more than 11 years Royce led brand editorial at VICE, overseeing coverage of news, music, culture, travel, and current affairs across APAC and beyond. Along the way, he served as a journalist and editor with the publication.

In 2013, Royce took on the first video interview with Julian Assange inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Hosting documentaries and interviewing figures of the day honed his understanding of audiences and what speaks to them.

Aside from reporting on the culture of moment, Royce has collaborated with some of the world’s most iconic brands and helped them find their way to connect authentically with audiences across APAC.

Royce is currently collaborating on a book with celebrity chef Dave Verheul, mining cultural insights to elevate organisations like Netflix, and helping to shape the spaces and opportunities open to the storytellers of tomorrow.
