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 business, finance, economics and healthcare, but I have a creative and journalistic curiosity as this portfolio illustrates. We provide the best English-language content, with a Dutch touch.

New cycling platform

Coopercomms has joined forces with digital publisher WayneParkerKent in Amsterdam to launch a content marketing platform for Sunweb. It's tech savvy, bilingual, fully yoasted and all about cycling, which is my obsession. The Prologue is applied "agile content engineering".

Communications Consultancy

Stakeholder communications and creative content marketing are all about getting the correct message across, via the right channel, at the right time to engage, inform and maybe even inspire your audience. We consult on stakeholder, internal and external communications and are particularly interested in the financial services market due to past experience and personal interest.

Editorial Content

Storytelling is the basis of all engaging editorial content, but getting the facts straight by being journalistic and analytical is also key. We can conduct interviews, write articles, and edit text. Finance, banking and insurance are areas which we are familiar with. We also know some great designers, illustrators, photographers and video crews if you need a full-service creative team.

Native English experts, with a Dutch touch

Our clients look for the best English in a creative, international context. Our concepts and content are created for non-native English speakers. This is really important. Non-native English is a specialism, as native English can be over-complicated and over-written, while non-native English 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 clear and the language must be pragmatic. The only people who can create this well are those who know the non-native English context. Michael and his associates are almost all bi-lingual English/Dutch, which can be helpful for communication during the project.

That's me in the corner.
