POLITICAL CAMPAIGNING MASTERCLASS:

Learn the art of becoming a successful campaigner

 

Three highly experienced and successful Political Strategists are addressing this event.

They are:

LORD BELL (Chairman of Chime Communication; former Campaign Adviser to Margaret Thatcher)

Lord Tim Bell is one of the best known figures in the UK Communications Industry. He successfully ran the publicity campaigns for Margaret Thatcher's general election victories in 1979, 1983 and 1987. He helped to found Saatchi and Saatchi and became its International Chairman. Lord Bell is currently Chairman of Chimes Communication, a holding group of influential public relations and communications firms.

ANDY BOOKLESS (Former Campaign Manager, Roskam for Congress)

Andy Bookless made history in November 2008 when he became the first British person to manage a successful US election race. He got Illinois Congressman Peter Roskam re-elected to the House of Representatives by a massive 16 points last year (Roskam won the seat by 2 points in 2006). Andy is currently Marketing Director of HarveyNash, a global recruitment company, and is the Founder of NetworkMe, a start-up company which places people on political campaigns.

LUKE AKEHURST (Public Affairs Director, Weber Shandwick)

Luke Akehurst is one of Britain's leading public affairs consultants. He was named 'UK Consultant of the Year' in 2008. He has been a Labour Party activist for over 20 years and is highly experienced in campaigning for local issues and social change. He is currently a Labour councillor in Hackney and has a very interesting blog.

 

This is a must-attend event for:

- Those interested in politics and what makes a successful political campaign

- People interested in hearing insightful knowledge about the campaigning strategies in the run up to the British general election, and what the parties can learn from the 2008 US Election.

- Anyone seeking a career in politics, public relations and communications.

 

Afterwards, there will be a drinks and networking reception where you can meet these figures and network with fellow graduates and young professionals from across London.

Single online tickets cost £7, or go with a friend and purchase 2 tickets for £12.
