Here are examples of some of my work and the clients I’ve been working with:

COBCOE is the membership organisation for British chambers of commerce and business associations in and around Europe.

I then helped plan and execute a number of exciting projects, and trained and guided staff to carry out communications functions.
In 2017, COBCOE launched the results of a major research project Brexit: the voices of European Business. I also produced a new magazine from 2016 onwards Make Europe Work!and worked on branding.
Key COBCOE comms included the marketing collateral, banners and programmes for events and exhibitions, website, ww.cobcoe.eu, GDPR compliance, various email templates, for events, publications, and newsletters (external and internal), as well as social media – Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook, plus press releases, news items and Powerpoint presentations.

Work with chambers of commerce

In early 2018, I completed a major report to identify how the chamber could spend its marketing budget more effectively.
British Romanian Chamber of Commerce (BRCC) – editing, copywriting and marketing
In early 2014, I initiated a new marketing approach for the chamber. This followed an agreement with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) for the BRCC to take on UKTI’s role in supporting British businesses in Romania. I began working with the BRCC back in 2010, initially producing their quarterly newsletter, then print ads and information pack
After producing a marketing review with ideas on future BRCC marketing, I completed the following projects:

- Create a BRCC brochure for UK businesses, making a case for doing business in Romania and using BRCC services
