Joshua Blackburn

Provokateur was founded in 2002 "by Joshua Blackburn whose past lives found him in the Labour Party’s 1997 election ‘war room’, the housing charity Shelter and the corporate branding agency, Wolff Olins.

"His ambition for Provokateur was to create a new kind of agency that would transform the world of ethical communications.

"Apparently the Evening Standard thought he was one of the hundred most influential people in London on no less than two occasions. He’s not sure why, but it was nice to know. Joshua also writes and speaks extensively on charity communications and design.

"When it comes to day-to-day Provokateur affairs, Joshua is head of strategy and in charge of interfering in other people’s work."

Founded Acme Climate Action and co-authored the book by the same name (published: Harper Collins, 2008).
