Exploring Life & Business with Ben Jackson of Icon PR

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ben Jackson.

Hi Ben, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Australian born and raised. For the past 9 years, I was working in Australia in artist publicity and also marketing manager for an event touring promoter. I had always dreamt of wanting to further my career and life in the USA and after four years of entering the US Diversity Immigrant VISA lottery program, my name was called! I went thorough the very long and involved process and now have a green card! I relocated to the USA in March this year and set up camp here in Nashville. I miss my family back in Australia, but I adore living and working in the music biz here in Nashville!

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Moving countries is never easy. Moving countries during a global pandemic is even tougher! But it was absolutely worth the cancelled flights, closed country borders and fear of the unknown. Luckily, through my career – I have been mentored and learnt from some truly great industry leaders. It’s these industry relationships that have assisted me finding my feet here in the Nashville scene!

You can never stop learning and that in itself is personal success.
