Helena Jacques-Morton

Helena has worked at WOW for three years and currently leads on WOW's social media and digital channels, and on global marketing and communications. Her favourite WOW moments have been rapper Kay Greyson’s electric opening to the WOW North East Schools Day, getting 400 young people up on their feet, dancing and singing at 10am and travelling to Kathmandu for WOW Nepal in 2024.

Previously she worked at Chichester Festival Theatre, where she led on developing new audiences, championing work for young people and increasing access to the arts. She developed Chichester Festival Theatre’s first Youth Advisory Board and was an AMA Audience Diversity Academy Fellow in 2020. Helena studied English and Theatre at the University of St Andrews and University of California San Diego, followed by an MLitt in Writing for Performance. She is passionate about championing the power of stories, both real and imagined, and using storytelling to engage and inform new audiences, and writes a (sporadic) newsletter called The Rummage on Substack.
