EDAA Summit 2019

About Jamie

Jamie Barnard has worked in the advertising industry since his career began.  He joined Unilever in 2007, after 6 years advising London’s top creative agencies and a brief affair with the music business.  

In 2011, he left Unilever South Africa to create a new role as the company’s first ‘digital’ lawyer.  Since then, he’s stood shoulder to shoulder with Unilever’s media and marketing pioneers breaking new ground in digital; from the dawn of advertising on Facebook, to the renaissance of data-driven marketing, Jamie has hacked a path through laws and regulations written for a different time. 

As General Counsel - Global Marketing, Media and eCommerce, he leads a specialist team supporting Unilever’s Central Marketing and Communications Office.  He advises on the legal and regulatory implications of 21st century marketing, with a focus on media platforms, adtech, content, and online issue management (everything from fake news and ad fraud to trolls and social memes).  He is also responsible for Unilever’s contractual relationships with 1,000s of advertising and media agencies, social platforms, publishers and fledgling digital service providers.  

Jamie is happiest on the water or in the mountains – anything that involves a board.  Despite two law degrees and more than 15 years in the business, he describes himself as “London’s least likely lawyer”; his family motto (“If you can’t be good, don’t get caught”) says it all.
