Joe Wade is all about creativity, politics and protest.

He’s one of the directors of Don’t Panic – a world famous website and publication providing amazing free political art and creative awesomeness.

Among Don’t Panic’s most famous features is Banksy’s Stop Esso campaign posters, which spread like wild-fire after being unveiled by them. They’re also known for creating web virals – their recent one for Yahoo! was the most watched viral of the election.

On top of that, Joe blogs (no pun intended) for Yahoo! and writes for Dazed and Confused about politics and protest, and lectures at Middlesex and Westminster Universities about social media and online PR.

He also lends his wisdom to big brands and charities such as PlayStation and Christian Aid, helping them coming up with ingenious marketing plans for their campaigns.

So for our politics-minded Battlefronters that fancy getting creative with their campaigns – Mr Wade is priceless asset.

"Young people are the best advocates to get their peers involved in campaigns and causes. I hope to help channel their creativity, talent and anger in effective, positive and unusual directions."
