Ed Coper is a pioneer of politics in the digital age. A leading political communications expert and authority on the internet and democracy, he built the global blueprints for modern advocacy. He grew Australia's first online political movement, GetUp, and launched Australian Labor’s first digital presence before exporting these techniques across six continents.
Coper has been behind the scenes of many of the last two decades’ most prominent social movements, and has advised high-profile changemakers ranging from Malala Yousafzai and Greta Thunberg to Sir Richard Branson and Shakira. Ed founded a New York-based agency servicing multiple Nobel Peace laureates, and established the Center for Impact Communications which led efforts to safeguard US elections from disinformation and combat vaccine hesitancy.
His groundbreaking campaigns have raised hundreds of millions of dollars for social causes and have featured in several museum exhibitions. Now CEO of the agency Populares, Ed remains at the vanguard of political disruption; he was a key strategist behind Australia’s historic 'Teal' movement.
Ed is the author of the acclaimed book 'Facts and Other Lies', which has become the definitive handbook for defending truth in the disinformation age. His latest book 'Angertainment: How Social Media Outrage Ruined Everything'.
Angertainment explores the outrage economy - how our emotions are being hijacked to build political and cultural capital, how ‘rage bait’— 2025 Word of the Year — can change how you vote, what you buy and who you hate.
Darkly funny and terrifyingly urgent, Angertainment is a groundbreaking vision for dismantling the outrage machine.
First, we must understand it. Then we can work to defeat it.
‘Ed Coper keenly explores and masterfully analyses the dangerous world of angertainment where so much of our politics now resides’ THE HON. MALCOLM TURNBULL AC, 29th PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA
