Anna Hope

Start date with DI: December 2014

Where I am based: Bristol

What I do: I have been DI’s External Relations and Marketing Lead since September 2022, following several years in my role as DI’s Head of Communications. I oversee DI’s approach across all its locations to public relations, public affairs, partnerships, brand management and marketing. In this role I therefore support DI to reach and meet the needs of those we exist to support and serve so that we can increase our impact and deliver our mission.

Previous experience: I’ve worked in communications and advocacy roles in UK domestic politics and the third sector for the last 12 years. Before joining DI, I was based in Palestine working on a human rights project while studying Arabic language at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem. I am a graduate in Economics and Politics from SOAS, University of London, and hold an MRes in Global Political Economy from the University of Bristol.
