Laura Clarke is an award-winning communications director, strategist and best-selling author. She is also co-founder of the Palau Pledge—recognised as one of the most-awarded campaigns in the world.

Before moving to Palau with her husband, Laura held senior comms roles in London, Hong Kong, and Sydney, leading campaigns for some of the world’s most recognisable brands. While in Palau, she quickly identified the island nation’s urgent environmental challenges and mobilised a global creative team out of Australia to help safeguard its future. The result was a world-first initiative that redefined how tourism and conservation intersect.

Laura is also Co-Executive Producer and Head of Impact for Deep Rising—a feature documentary narrated and executive produced by Jason Momoa. Premiering at Sundance, the film and its accompanying impact campaign expose the ecological threat posed by deep seabed mining, and have become powerful tools for global ocean advocacy.

Now based in Sydney, Laura is the Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Palau to Australia. She continues to lead global behaviour change campaigns and champions the power of creative communications to drive positive, lasting impact.
