Jake Clarke has nearly 20 years’ experience across public affairs, campaigning, data analytics, and process automation, as well as software design and development. At SEC Newgate, Jake applies his unique skillsets to complex communications problems, whether visualising information to motivate decision makers or finding technological solutions to corporate affairs problems.

His early career as an Australian Labor Party campaigner involved managing the data analysis, research, and voter targeting for several campaigns, including Daniel Andrews in 2014 and Mark McGowan in 2017. As the main co-ordinator for the Labor party’s voter engagement technology, including its CRM system Campaign Central, Jake oversaw the feature pipeline and managed the relationship with its developers.

This product is now utilised by over 100 organisations to run campaigns and save time with automations. In his time at SEC Newgate, Jake has had a focus on simplifying and automating many of our back-of-house processes, as well as bringing his skills and insights to our research and communications offerings.
