London 2012 Director of Communications to speak at AMEC Summit

It’s been announced this week that the latest addition the line-up of the European Summit on Measurement is Jackie Brock-Doyle, Director of Communications and Public Affairs at the London 2012 Organising Committee of the Olympic & Paralympic Games (LOCOG). The communications professionals gathered at the three-day summit in Dublin will be able to hear her presentation on June 14. This is just 43 days before the Games begin on 27 July, bringing 15,000 athletes from more than 200 countries to the United Kingdom. Regarded as a leading expert in strategic communication, Brock-Doyle has designed and directed communication, media and sponsorship programmes for some of the world's biggest brands and events, including the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games.  Whilst London was vying for the 2012 games, her work as Head of PR and Media for the campaign was a facet of its success. This summit, organised by AMEC, will see Brock-Doyle present to delegates via video conference from Canary Wharf in East London. Barry Leggetter, Executive Director of AMEC, said: “The Olympic and Paralympic Games present communications challenges of incomparable scale. We are therefore thrilled that Jackie will be able to share her experience and expertise with us on how London 2012 are getting ready to welcome the world this summer.” Other confirmed speakers on the summit’s line-up include: Anna Kepka, Media Insight Director Europe & North America, Unilever; Sandra Reape, Senior Consumer Insight Manager, Jameson International; Andre Manning, Vice President Corporate Communications, Royal Philips Electronics; Melanie Brooks, Media and Communications Coordinator, CARE International, Geneva and Philip Sheldrake, author of The Business of Influence. If you’re interested in going along to the summit, it takes place from June 13-15 and includes a Workshop Day with international speakers.
