Communications and Marketing with a lens for Human Centered Design

John Drebinger is a seasoned communications and marketing professional who has worked extensively in private and public sector innovation settings.

John's communications and marketing experience took him around the world helping clients connect with numerous publications and correspondents including, CBS, 60 Minutes, WSJ, Bloomberg, Nasdaq and more. While working to help speed the adoption of blockchain technologies, John began to specialize in projects that would have greater social impact.

That eventually led him to working as a consultant to government agencies and non-profits trying to improve access to programs and increase engagement with their end users. While many firms have private sector clients, few know how to adapt best practices to public and non-profit contexts. John's experience working in public systems has helped him shaped communications and marketing practices that work despite the challenges many systems face.

A Foster America 2019-2020, and IDEO CoLab 2020 Fellow, John is an expert on the adaptation of human centered design for social impact initiatives. He leverages these methodologies to improve the effectiveness of communications efforts, while helping systems connect with the people they serve.
