Born and raised on Merseyside, Jonathan holds an MA (Dist.) in Marketing Communications from Middlesex University and a Professional Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing, awarded by the UK's Chartered Institute of Marketing. He's also a qualified journalist and PR practitioner.

Jonathan is the author of Marketing in the Dark, which examines how multinationals communicate in the "media dark regions" of developing nations - research for which ultimately led to the charity being formed. To see the book, click here.
