Paul Jackson (marketing)
Paul Jackson is a marketing professional.
The Financial Times reports:
- Media Smart is chaired by Paul Jackson, previously Mars' European marketing director. Jackson, who continues to advise Mars on issues of "media literacy", has put together an executive working group comprising Mike Davies, UK director, Masterfoods; Simon Gardner, president of Hasbro International; and a clutch of media executives including Hugh Burkitt, chairman of Hasbro's UK ad agency Burkitt DDB, which is developing creative for Media Smart's first TV campaign. Jackson has also enlisted the support of Peter Tomkins, president of the National Confederation of Parent and Teacher Associations, adding a critical element of credibility. He is now looking for a further 30 companies to subscribe to the project, ad agencies to provide free creative time, and media partners to donate advertising space.
- "I'm looking for a broad spectrum of support that commits the industry to actually doing something," says Jackson. "Unless we start being proactive, we'll be constantly on the back foot against attacks on our practices and initiatives from Brussels." [1]
