Background

About Chris Cooper

Freelance Consultant || Advocacy strategy, campaigns, mis- and disinformation. Over 15 years experience designing and executing advocacy and communications strategies to enable social, cultural and policy change. I bring a nimble and strategic approach to leading teams, co-founding new organisations and initiatives, and building effective client and donor partnerships. I have secured multi-million dollar grants and delivered projects across a wide range of issue areas, with specialised expertise in disinformation, democracy, development, climate change and public health. I am at my best when working at the intersections of these issues. I have deep experience working cross-culturally, and my academic training as a cultural anthropologist informs my use of participatory methodologies that enable marginalised communities to self-advocate and to design their own progress. With these skills I have worked across the corporate, NGO, philanthropic and activist sectors, in East Africa, South Asia, Asia-Pacific, the United States, Europe and Australia.
