Meet the team

Jon studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics(PPE) at the University of Oxford, before starting in the sales and marketing sector at a rapidly expanding start-up in Manchester. He has worked for nearly twenty years, almost entirely in the professional fundraising sector, and in that time has represented more than fifty different charities ranging from small local causes to enormous international organisations raising in excess of £15 million.

In the 2010’s Jon consulted for a number of professional fundraising companies across the UK, US, Europe and Australia before founding Obsidian Marketing in 2020. Having navigated the challenges of a global pandemic, Obsidian Marketing is now firmly established as one of the regions leading direct sales, promotions and fundraising companies. Since then, Jon’s career has developed into a public speaking and professional training role where he has been asked to speak across the US and UK, and also in Spain and Malaysia.
