CONCEPT | CREATIVE | COPY | CONSULT

Welcome! You've made a smart choice

Copywriting, editing, translating and livestream/webinar/podcast hosting in English for non-native professional audiences: that's the name of the game. Mike Cooper provides communications consultancy, events presentation and content for clients in a wide range of sectors. Based near Amsterdam, all project dialogue can be in Dutch if required. Recent repeat clients (B2B & B2C) are in the financial services, logistics automation, agribusiness, smart home tech and cycling sectors. But whatever the subject, it's all about the best native English-language communications, with a Dutch touch.

This is what's been happening lately

Stakeholders are talking about it

You want your stakeholder communications and content marketing to deliver information to the right people in the correct tone of voice. We have wide experience with internal and external communications. Online, offline, events (dagvoorzitterschap) for both B2C and B2B clients.

You'll never guess what happened...

Your stories should be well-told and engaging as well as journalistic and clear. I work alongside you to get the right messages across. I also know some great designers, illustrators and video crews if you need a full-service creative team.

This is why we're different

Live event hosting, editorial concepts and copywriting for non-native English audiences may sound simple. It is not. Clients today seek the best English in a creative, international context. Pure native English can be over-complicated. English content written for non-natives is clear, simple, effective and still very correct. The only people who can do this well are those who understand what does not work for non-native English audiences and why. I am bi-lingual English/Dutch, which can be helpful for communication during projects.

That's me in the corner.

Thanks Floris!
