Jane Caro wears many hats; including author, lecturer, mentor, social commentator, columnist, workshop facilitator, speaker, broadcaster and award winning advertising writer. The common thread running through her career is a delight in words and a talent for using them to connect with other people. A skill she developed and honed during her very successful 30 years as an advertising writer.
Today, she runs her own communications consultancy and lectures in Advertising Creative at The School of Communication Arts at UWS.
She has published two books; The Stupid Country: How Australia is Dismantling Public Education co-authored with Chris Bonnor (New South 2007), and The F Word. How we learned to swear by feminism co-authored with Catherine Fox (New South, 2008) and is working on a third.
She is sought after as a speaker and workshop facilitator by a wide range of organisations, in both the public and private sectors, including most recently the AEU, ACTU, Urban Development Institute of Australia, The ATO, Sydney Leadership (NSW Benevolent Society), Women in Finance and AMP. She is also sought after by the media to comment on a range of issues from advertising and marketing to education, feminism, women and work, and parenting.
She has appeared on Channel 7 Sunrise, ABC's Q&A, and is now a semi-regular panelist on Richard Glover's Political Forum on Radio 702. She is also a regular panelist on the ABC's top-rating show on advertising The Gruen Transfer. She filled in for presenter Richard Aedy, hosting Radio National iconic Life Matters in 2008 and 2009.
She remains in high demand by advertising agencies as a freelance writer and her advertising work has won many national and international advertising awards including Cannes (2004), AWARD, London International, ATV, Asia Pacific, One Show, Mobius, Kinsale, and Caxton.
She is often asked to judge both national and international advertising award shows and remains the only woman to have been Chair of Judges of AWARD (Australasian Writers and Art Directors Association) and both Adelaide and Brisbane Art Directors Awards.
She writes a regular column in Education Review and mentors young businesspeople through McCarthy Mentoring. She is on the Boards of Bell Shakespeare and the NSW Public Education Foundation. She is also the mother of two daughters, a wife, a beef producer and a timber grower.
