Communications and copywriting

Communications and copywriting

I have significant experience creating and maintaining communications strategies, as well as drafting long- and short-form copy.

Communications and stakeholder-engagement strategies

I have significant experience coordinating and executing communications initiatives and activities. This includes drafting and implemnting:

  • Communications strategies and plans (for the European Patent Office, Philips, and Euroports)
  • Stakeholder-engagement strategies and plans (for the European Patent Office)
