Ed Coper was on the front lines when the internet collided with democracy, growing Australia's first online political movement to quickly amass more members than every political party combined.

He is a leading political communications expert who pioneered techniques to bring politics into the digital age. He has been behind the scenes of many of the last decade's most prominent social movements, and powered Change.org's global expansion into over eighteen countries. He has advised campaigns on every continent except Antarctica, and high-profile changemakers from Malala to Shakira.

Ed founded the New York-based Center for Impact Communications, which has led efforts to safeguard US elections from disinformation and overcome vaccine hesitancy. Ed also founded a New York City creative agency that serviced multiple Nobel Peace laureates, political and social leaders to scale their social impact. His groundbreaking campaigns have raised hundreds of millions of dollars for causes, won landmark social change and have featured in several museum exhibitions.

Now founder and CEO of the agency Populares, Ed remains at the vanguard of political disruption; he was a key strategist behind Australia’s historic 'Teal' movement. Ed is the author of the acclaimed book Facts and Other Lies, which has become the definitive handbook for defending truth in the disinformation age.
