Anna Thame

At the Design Council I’m head of marketing, working with a team responsible for promoting the aims of the organisation, raising awareness of its role and building support for our nationwide programmes through online and offline marketing.

Before I joined the Design Council in January 2008, I was head of marketing and communications at the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, the lead national body for secondary education. Previously, I was head of communications at the Basic Skills Agency, a national education charity. I have seventeen years experience of marketing in both the public and private sectors, in the arts, education and publishing.
