CONCEPT | CREATIVE | COPY | CONSULT

Welcome! You've made a great choice

Content marketing, storytelling, editorial production and creative direction in English for non-native professional audiences, is what we do. Coopercomms provides communications consultancy and editorial content for clients based in the Netherlands. All project dialogue can be in Dutch if required. It's mainly me, Michael, but I have an extensive network for bigger projects. I am particularly interested in finance, economics, healthcare and cycling. But whatever the subject, we provide the best English-language content, with a Dutch touch.
Please note: the "earlier work" projects are not all by Coopercomms

Communications Consultancy

You want your stakeholder communications and content marketing to deliver information to the right people in the correct tone of voice. We consult on stakeholder, internal and external communications. Online, offline, events (dagvoorzitterschap) and SEO for WordPress are also part of the package, if needed.

Editorial Content

Once upon a time, there were three bears. You want your stories to be well-told and engaging as well as journalistic and clear. We work alongside you get the right messages across. We also know some great designers, illustrators and video crews if you need a full-service creative team.

Native English, with a Dutch touch

Our concepts and content are mostly created for people who are not native English speakers. Our clients look for the best English in a creative, international context. Pure native English can be over-complicated. English written for non-natives is clear, simple, effective and still very correct. We are thinking about your readers all the time -- not about how cleverly we are writing. In short, the message must be obvious and the language pragmatic. The only people who can do this well are those who understand what does not work for non-native English audiences and why. Michael and his associates are bi-lingual English/Dutch, which can be helpful for communication during projects.

That's me in the corner.

Thanks Floris!
