Jon Dee

Jon Dee has spent over twenty years working on cause-related projects.
During this time, he set up and ran Rock Aid Armenia, getting the support of bands such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen and others to raise funds for Armenian Earthquake Relief in 33 countries.
In 1988, Jon co-produced the 55-nation global broadcast 'World Against AIDS' that launched World AIDS Day. In 1990, he was also the initiator and publisher of Britain's first multi-lingual pan-European magazine - the 8 language edition 'Rock Power' magazine.
Jon Dee founded the Planet Ark organisation in association with friend and tennis player Pat Cash back in June 1991.
He set up Planet Ark as a pro-business organisation, as he believes that only business has enough power to save the planet's ability to look after our future generations.
Jon won community service awards in his youth from Lions clubs. For his earthquake relief work, he was awarded the President's Medal by the President of Armenia in a ceremony in Yerevan in 1991. In 1994, Jon also won the national 'Banksia Environmental Award' for his production of Channel 7 and Planet Ark's 'Save the Planet' education commercials.
Jon Dee is a regular commentator on radio and TV. Since 1992, he has produced and directed over 300 TV and radio adverts for Planet Ark, recruiting people like Sir Richard Branson, Kylie Minogue, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Olivia Newton-John, Steve Irwin, Dustin Hoffman, Jamie Durie and others to present the ads.
Jon is an inspiring and entertaining speaker, who has delivered speeches at launches, conferences and corporate workshops both here in Australia and overseas.
