Ed Coper is a pioneer of politics in the digital age. A leading political communications expert and authority on the internet and democracy, he built the global blueprints for modern advocacy.

He grew Australia’s first online political movement, GetUp, and launched Australian Labor’s first digital presence before exporting these techniques across six continents. He has been behind the scenes of many of the last two decades’ most prominent social movements, and has advised high-profile changemakers ranging from Malala Yousafzai and Greta Thunberg to Sir Richard Branson and Shakira.

Ed founded a New York-based agency servicing multiple Nobel Peace laureates, and established the Center for Impact Communications which led efforts to safeguard US elections from disinformation and combat vaccine hesitancy. His groundbreaking campaigns have raised hundreds of millions of dollars for social causes and have featured in several museum exhibitions.

Now CEO of the agency Populares, Ed remains at the vanguard of political disruption; he was a key strategist behind Australia’s historic ‘Teal’ movement. Ed is the author of the acclaimed book Facts and Other Lies, which has become the definitive handbook for defending truth in the disinformation age.
