Hi, I’m Mark Izatt

About me

I'm Mark, a global brand and communications consultant with over 25 years of experience in the luxury spirits, technology, goods, and service sectors. In 2013, I founded Communicating Luxury, a strategic brand and communications consultancy, and in 2019, I established Mission Critical, a weekly briefing service delivering essential information to busy professionals.

Originally from Scotland, I hold dual British and Maltese citizenship. I graduated from the University of Aberdeen in Forestry and have spent most of my career in New York and London. My work has taken me across the UK, Europe, the USA, Russia, the Middle East, China, and Southeast Asia.

Before founding my companies, I served as a Parliamentary Researcher and Special Advisor to the Secretary of State for Scotland. I am also a trustee of Combat Stress, the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health, and chair the Passenger Representative Group at London’s Heathrow Airport. Additionally, I serve as a Non-Executive Director of the Heathrow Community Engagement Board.

I contribute as a lecturer on Digital Marketing for the Advanced Masters in Digital Business Strategy course at Grenoble Ecole de Management. Living in West London, I am an Estonian e-⁠Resident and serve on the Management Board of the Estonian e-⁠Residents International Chamber Association.

Estonia’s e-⁠Residency program has been invaluable, allowing me to keep my business within the EU post-Brexit and benefit from Estonia's efficient digital infrastructure. This flexibility has enabled me to run my business smoothly and connect with a global audience.

My journey

With e-⁠Residency, you can easily register an EU business online without relocating and free from bureaucracy: great for remote entrepreneurs!
