About Joe Watson

As Vice-President of the Pre-College & Collegiate Division at BrandEd I oversee the development and delivery of pre-college and collegiate programs across Sotheby's Institute of Art, The School of the New York Times, Vogue College of Fashion, Manchester City Sports Business School, and WIRED Education. Prior to BrandEd, my career saw me hold roles with the National Trust, V&A Museum, Courtauld Institute of Art, and St Paul’s Cathedral School. I bring a creative and innovative approach to curriculum development and student/audience engagement, often pioneering new areas of content or new approaches. As a volunteer, I have undertaken advisory work for the Southbank Centre, St Paul’s Cathedral, the British Academy, and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, among others. A committed believer in lifelong learning, I hold graduate degrees of King’s College London, the University of Oxford (St Catherine's College), and the LSE, where I was the recipient of the Marshall Prize. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. I live on the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with my wife and three young children.
