Jules’ Quality of Life Commission report Blueprint for a Green Economy led to the Prime Minister calling on the Office for National Statistics to measure and develop policy based on wellbeing. The report was described as; “an enormously important report” (Friends of the Earth Director, Tony Juniper), “An extraordinary policy document grandly related human happiness to the present and future state of the planet leading the Conservatives away from naive free marketeering towards Cameron’s theme of social responsibility” (The Times) and “ground-breaking, indeed, yes, world-changing political work” (Worldchanging.com).

He is co-author, with Robert Phillips, of the wiki book www.citizenrenaissance.com, of which Campaign Magazine said “If you’re looking to sound clever whilst you talk about the future of marketing, its a mine of ideas on social change, attitudes to consumerism and the role of business” and which the RSAs Matthew Taylor called “Marketing guru Jules Peck’s clarion call for a sustainable wellbeing economy”.

He is a regular blogger for Huffington Post, Left Foot Forward, Compass, Green Alliance, The Guardian, Harvard Business Review and others, and a regular tweeter and public speaker.
