Clapperton went to college at Brighton Polytechnic, now the University of Brighton. He began his career in the media with a staff job on MicroScope, a newspaper for the technology channel. In 1993 he went freelance and worked for national press including The Guardian for which he still writes.
His first book in 2002 was titled Free Publicity For Your Business In A Week. He wrote one of the first books on social media for business in the UK, This Is Social Media (Capstone Publishers 2009).

The sequel, This Is Social Commerce, came out in 2012. He became a Fellow of the Professional Speaking Association. In 2014 he and Philip Vanhoutte published The Smarter Working Manifesto, taking him to speak at the London Olympia launch, then at events in Berlin and Lisbon. Clapperton continues as a broadcaster, having offered commentary on the daily papers to the BBC News Channel between 2008 and 2013, and as a journalist for the Guardian, New Statesman and as editor of Professional Outsourcing Magazine.
