Amanda Pridmore

Amanda Pridmore is a project manager at the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) in Berlin, where she leads the communications work package for ENSURED, a Horizon Europe-funded consortium on European global governance. Her work focuses on strategic narratives and political communication: understanding how complex research resonates with policymakers, diplomats and civil society actors across Europe and beyond.

Within ENSURED, Amanda manages a communications team responsible for the project’s full spectrum of outputs across 14 partner organizations in Europe, the Americas and Asia: from editorial production, graphic design, media relations, and audience-targeted campaigns to the project’s Expert Blog, policy brief series and outreach channels via social media and newsletter. Alongside this, she conducts research on the EU’s strategic narratives around multilateralism and designs narrative trainings for the European External Action Service (EEAS) and EU member state representatives. She has also built and manages an international expert network to support the project’s research activities, and conceptualizes policy events online and in Berlin, Brazil, Brussels, Geneva, Beijing, New Delhi, Paris, Prague, New York, and Washington DC, among others.

Previously at GPPi, Amanda owned many of the institute’s publication, outreach and web-related projects. She also contributed to the Transatlantic Digital Debates fellowship program and was part of the editorial team for 49security. Her earlier career includes organizing study programs with Global Bridges e.V., public engagement work at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in Washington DC and a Fulbright fellowship in Germany in cooperation with the Institut für Zeitgeschichte and Stiftung Topographie des Terrors, where she investigated the politics of memory and commemorative culture. She has also worked as a journalist for multiple media outlets in Germany.

Amanda is finishing a master’s degree in international relations at Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin and Universität Potsdam. She holds degrees in political science and philosophy from Clemson University. Her studies were supported by the State of South Carolina, the Institute of International Education and the German-American Fulbright Commission.
