I’m Jonathan Sabarre, Director of Marketing & Communications at Newcastle University, leading global marketing, digital engagement, and strategic communications. I’m passionate about collaboration, bringing people, ideas, and technology together to connect universities with the right audiences worldwide. With a background in hospitality, entertainment, and higher education, I thrive on creating impactful campaigns that drive reputation and engagement.

 

As a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, Chair of the Russell Group Marketing & Student Recruitment Forum, a member of the QS Global Advisory Board (Europe), and part of the CASE Global Thought Leadership team, I’ve shared insights on international stages and now explore the future of university marketing through my podcast, Marketing Greats in Higher Education.
