Talk to me about:

• Reviewing your current communications channels and outputs
• Content initiatives that will give your members reasons to engage
• Finding the right tools and platforms to match your organization’s needs
• Establishing a social media presence that achieves real world impact

Do your stakeholders know what your organization does? Do your community members really value the work you do on their behalf? Do they feel that you value them? Are your messages having the maximum impact?

We live in busy times. Making your voice heard above the background din is becoming increasingly difficult. Now is the time to reflect on whether your organization is meeting the needs of its members. Strong communications will give your members enticing reasons to engage. Reviewing the effectiveness of your current communications mix, I can design a content and community strategy that will leave your stakeholders in no doubt about the value you add.

Talk to me about:

• Developing an effective e-newsletter for your organization
• Revitalizing your quarterly magazine
• Ghostwriting blog posts based on your ideas
• Capturing the discussions and outcomes at your workshops and conferences

I have written, commissioned, edited and polished tens of thousands of words over the past fifteen years: magazines, newsletters, annual reports, bulletins, website news items, blogs, social media posts, strategies, slide decks, brochures and even a few songs.

I will deliver well-written copy that conveys your messages in a style and tone appropriate to the context. Importantly, I’ll ensure your text is free of spelling mistakes and is grammatically correct.

A combination of genuine interest across a wide range of subjects and the ability to quickly assimilate information and pull out the story means I can deliver effective content very efficiently. Don’t waste your time trying to put your thoughts into words. You talk, I’ll type, and together we’ll say what needs to be said.

Talk to me about:

• Planning your organization’s annual conference
• Producing a workshop that will attract and engage your members
• Managing your company’s presence at exhibitions and conventions
• Solving last minute problems that are putting your key meeting at risk

I have organized conferences and workshops throughout Europe, ranging from single room events for 20-50 delegates up to multi-stream programmes for 600+ delegates, often with an associated exhibition. I’ve also coordinated and managed booths at major international trade shows, working with stand designers, audiovisual providers, presenters, caterers, etc.

Whether you require an event manager to take your project from start to finish or somebody to come in at short notice and steady the ship ahead of an important conference, I can deliver what is required. Years of diverse event experience mean that I will bring a cool head and a pragmatic approach that will ensure you and your attendees can focus on the content.
