Hi, I’m Manpreet Dhesi. I care deeply about human connection in society and about the future of our world. I am driven by the ability to effect real change with strategic communications and bring a human-led approach to the leadership of the teams and projects I get to work with. 

During my psychology degree, I specialised in neuropsychology, a branch of psychology that is concerned with how a person's cognition and behaviour are related to the brain. This plays a major role in my approach today.

Having spent a few years working in communications after my degree, I decided to complete a master's degree in marketing communications. I wanted to learn more about the entire marketing communications spectrum and connect that to how people perceive communications – ultimately, how the two sides work together.

With over a decade of experience in my field, I’m a Chartered Marketer MCIM with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), a Chartered PR Practitioner MCIPR with the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR), a member of PRCA (MPRCA) and the Institute of Internal Communications (MIIC).

I am a Trustee of Birkbeck’s Students’ Union, an Advisor for the South Asian Heritage Month charity and a Trustee of Crohn’s & Colitis UK. I cherish these opportunities to learn from colleagues and using my comms, marketing and digital experience to help make the changes we want to see for our world. I give 5% of my working time to these charities providing advisory support. I am the sole shareholder in Studio Dhesi.
