Biography

Jonathan Gabay is a branding, PR and reputation authority who now spends most of his time on the question every organisation is quietly wrestling with: what artificial intelligence is doing to trust.

He advises international brands, institutions and governments on AI strategy, and delivers certification programmes for the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Direct Marketing Association of Northern California. He guest lectures at Oxford College of Marketing and the University of West London, where his frameworks and books sit on the curriculum.

An award-winning copywriter who began as Group Creative Head at Saatchi & Saatchi Direct, he’s a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the author of eighteen books, every one held in the British Library. They include Soul Traders, Brand Psychology, The Brand Messiah and Practical Digital Marketing and AI Psychology (Routledge), with his work taught from undergraduate to PhD level.

He’s a familiar voice on BBC, CNN, Sky News, Al Jazeera, Channel 4, ITN and Bloomberg, called on when a reputation is burning and somebody has to explain why.

On stage he’s quick, funny and unusually well read, moving from ancient rhetoric to deepfakes to the psychology of a collapsing brand without losing a single person in the room. A leading Japanese marketing society named him one of the most influential marketers in the business. Others have settled for ‘The Jeremy Clarkson of Brands and Marketing’.

Alongside his talks on branding, marketing, reputation and AI, Jonathan also speaks on mental health, loss and resilience, with part of the proceeds supporting charities.

Audiences leave with sharper judgement, a working grasp of how AI is rewiring persuasion, and at least one argument they want to carry on having.
