Ben Harwood

Ben leads the University of Oxford’s research campaigns, reaching audiences from UK policymakers and industry stakeholders, to prospective students and a network of alumni around the world. His current campaign is True Planet – a focus on Oxford’s climate, biodiversity and sustainability research as the UK gears up to host COP26 – work which is often crucial in shaping global policy decisions, with the goal of a more sustainable society and a cleaner, greener future for everyone.

Campaigns that Ben has worked on have won a number of awards; including a PRWeek Global Award for Oxford’s COVID campaign, a UK Social Media award for his mid-pandemic livestream series, a CASE Gold Award for the Futuremakers podcast he co-produces and a BIMA award for his time working in digital campaigns for the National Trust.
