Jeremy Buckle

A creative media and events professional with over 20 years’ experience in developing large-scale events, integrated media campaigns, and public outreach programmes.

Hi, I'm Jeremy.

I’m a versatile, hands-on media production professional with a strong track record in project and event management with both clients and agencies.

I am a highly effective leader in senior management and director-level positions commercially focused and driven by results with extensive experience researching and developing winning strategies, directing large teams and complex operations, and driving sales.

I have most recently been working as a ‘white label’ consultant, seamlessly integrating within client teams to create and drive comms solutions that deliver strong ROI. My clients have included Microsoft, Intel, Fox Studios, General Motors, Barclays Bank, HP and the GSMA.

I’m passionate about creating immersive experiences that bring brands to life and create real impact. Get in touch to see how I can help you.

Recent work

Event Director – YoMo: The Youth Mobile Festival

GSMA Ltd. // Barcelona, Los Angeles, Shanghai

Created for the GSMA in 2016, YoMo is an interactive, hands-on festival of science and technology that brings classroom learning to life.

I designed and built a global, dynamic programme that combined a hands-on festival with virtual engagements for students and educators – promoting STEAM subjects to over 100,000 young people over three continents.

This programme exceeded its objectives, with over 100,000 festival attendees each year and up to 500,000 participating in the year-round digital programme. The 2019 festival saw a 100% year-on-year increase in both attendees and sales.

With my natural ability to build strong and long-lasting relationships, I built an effective stakeholder network across business and industry, R&D laboratories, professional institutions, government, universities and outreach organisations.

Event Producer – Intel Educator Summit

Intel // London

Contracted to produce a three-day summit that included lectures and workshops, a gala dinner, and school visits across London.

I designed and produced all aspects of the Summit, including: venue and catering management, accommodation and transfers, audiovisual technical production, content procurement, and delegate registration.

General Manager – MRO Network

United Business Media // London

Led the transformation of an ailing media and events business to facilitate its sale to the Informa group.

I created and deployed an updated proposition of live events and webinars, learning resources, and other digital content – increasing program participation by 75% and delegate-driven revenue by 38%.

Event Director – The Big Bang Fair

EngineeringUK // UK

Appointed to develop and expand the program nationally, I transformed the event into a hands-on ‘arcade’ style experience with a maze-like format.

The program was hugely successful in achieving this and expanded tenfold from 6,000 to over 70,000 people in four years increasing sponsorship revenue in the face of a global economic recession.

I can’t say enough good things about Jeremy. He is a top-notch events professional, both operationally (he’s seen everything) and as a “revenue generator”... creative, tireless, articulate, knowledgeable, resilient, helpful, detail-oriented; ethical. I consider Jeremy a friend and a mentor.

Steven RussVP, New Program Development, GSMA

Jeremy radiates passion and joy and has a can-do attitude unlike any person I ever worked with... he’s a true visionary, a natural born leader and one of the best managers I ever worked with.

Lize DeClerqMarketing & Content Coordinator, GSMA
