From 2009 - 17 I led strategic communications for many high impact campaigns and investigations at Global Witness, including those which won the organisation the TED and Skoll prizes.
Since then, I have worked with di:ga colleagues to help the organisation plan and deliver key campaign moments and wider organisational changes.
Global Witness
Highlights:
Built and managed team which transformed how organisation used news to campaign strategically.
Created and ran flagship campaign on protecting environmental defenders.
Led communications for campaigns which saw US Congress move to end anonymous shell companies, exposed Shell’s knowledge of illicit payments in Nigeria, exposed multi-billion dollar illicit jade trade in Myanmar and more.
Led 2015 redesign of Global Witness website - transformed digital comms and still in use today.
“Oli is one of my favourite people to work with. He does an incredible job of bringing people together and getting to the root of what the group wants and needs to achieve, and then developing a strategy that everyone can get behind.
Oli can juggle a hundred balls and keeps everything on track, allowing everyone around him to stay clear on what they need to do to meet the end goal. There’s no one better to bring into a project to create real and meaningful change”
