http://powerbase.info/index.php/Nigel_Oakes has references to plenty of them. "In 1984 the Globe and Mail referred to Oakes as 'a hard-up Old Etonian of the "London set," of whom it was recently rumoured he was an MI5 spy.'[10]" etc. @Edwardx: SmartSE (talk) 23:22, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you @Smartse:. I am hoping to expand the article, but am waiting for more to be reported in reliable sources. Caution on BLPs is, of course, always warranted. By the way, I started a page on the founder of Powerbase two days ago, David Miller (sociologist). Edwardx (talk) 00:54, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Behavioural Dynamics Institute

edit

I've come across more informations about the other "private intelligence company" which was founded by Oakes in 1990.

"Nigel Oakes founded the Behavioural Dynamics Institute (BDi) in 1990. In his early career Nigel worked as a producer for Monte Carlo TV and in 1985 became the Head of International Production. Two years later, Nigel joined Saatchi and Saatchi as a Senior Producer. In 1989, he established the Behavioural Dynamics Working Group; a group dedicated to the psychology of influence consisting of Professor Adrian Furnham, Professor Barrie Gunter, Professor Bruce Dakowski, David Fellowes and Nigel Oakes."

The route which did lead me there, was from the archived social media profiles of previous workers at SCL Group Ltd. , by short time members of Cambridge Analytica like Jordanna Zetter.
