Presentation Description:

Come listen to Jackie Brock-Doyle, OBE, Director of Communications & Public Affairs for the London 2012 Organizing Committee speak about her incredible international experience and how she created inspiring and strategic communications plans using many of the tools you use every day. Jackie has designed and directed communication, media and sponsorship programmes for some of the world's biggest brands and events in countries across the world, including Visa International, the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Cadbury and the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games. She was also head of Public Relations and Media Relations during London's successful bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Jackie's presentation will focus on her two passions in communications:

• the integration of strategic communications into tactical pieces like social media, crisis plans and government relations work
