Jason MacKenzie

Speaker Jason MacKenzie is a geopolitical communications consultant, working with presidents and prime ministers, governments and oppositions, embassies and international advocacy organisations.

He was the 68th president of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR), the largest membership organisation for PR professionals in Europe.

Today Jason works on strategic campaigns across Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe – and has spoken at events across the world, from Canada and Mexico to Iran and Pakistan.

He’s escorted delegations of journalists, MPs, Lords and Baronesses to far-flung places including two de facto countries, and recent geopolitical journeys have taken him to the Israeli/Syrian border and various African capitals. Don’t ask. Or perhaps do?

He has lectured at a dozen universities, including Henley Business School and the University of Exeter Business School, where he taught on its One Planet MBA. Jason is a Fellow of the CIPR and the British-American Project and is a Founding Chartered Public Relations Practitioner.

If your event needs insight into international strategic communication, politics, public diplomacy, and campaigns that shape perceptions and win hearts and minds (with a side serving of mishaps and mayhem!) then Jason MacKenzie is your speaker.
