I offer a range of campaigns and communications services that are focused on supporting the not-for-profit sector. On this page you can find an outline of some of the things I can offer.

I am always open to having a chat about what you need and coming up with a bespoke package of support that suits you best. Please do get in touch with me if you want to discuss your specific requirements.

Prices will vary depending on the type of project it is, how long it will run for, and what expertise and skill is required. If this is your first contract with me, you will also get a 10% discount for all work included in the first contract.

CAMPAIGNS

Facilitation

What do you need? Are you and your team too ‘close’ to an issue to break-through and identify your next big campaign? Or do you know what you want to achieve but you want to have someone neutral to support the strategy process and help you reach the best outcomes?

What can I do? I can review where you’ve got to so far and facilitate a bespoke facilitation package, of anything from just one afternoon to a series of sessions, to crack the difficult campaign or communications nut you’re grappling with. Perhaps you’ll want to bring in others from your organisation outside of the campaigns or communications teams? Great! I’ve worked lots with cross-cutting teams and will guide you through a process where all views will be respected and you’ll come together to work towards a shared vision for what you want to achieve.

Strategy Review

What do you need? Have you come up with a great campaign strategy but you want to have a critical eye to ask probing questions, spot gaps, and help to further strengthen your proposal before you hit the ground running? Or maybe you are just about to present it to your board or a major donor and want to test the water for what comments or critique might come your way so you’re extra prepared?

What can I do? I can be that friendly, critical eye that will interrogate your assumptions, your expectations, your outcomes, and your campaign path. I’ll help you build even more confidence in your campaign.

Campaigns or Communications Project Management

What do you need? Do you have a sudden gap in your project management capacity? Or maybe you’ve got a great new campaign opportunity and you need some support to coordinate all its many parts and make sure you hit your targets?

What can I do? I can come on board to project manage your campaign or communications project through those tricky gaps or major moments and make sure you get the results you want. Maybe it’s an event that you are hosting, a report you’re launching, or a campaign you have big plans for: I can coordinate the various outputs and support you and your team to deliver your best, to time and to budget.

Implementation

What do you need? Are you dealing with a campaign spike? Maybe there’s been a swing in your direction and you want to capitalise on it but just need more hands-on deck.

What can I do? I can jump in and work together with you and your team to deliver your campaign project plan through meeting members/supporters, writing email and web campaign copy quickly and on message, supporting your press and media, or whatever your campaign needs!

COPY

Copy-writing: whole scale drafting of content, including necessary reviewing of background materials, structuring of content and supported process from start to finish of content creation process

Copy-editing: thorough proof alongside a holistic review and editing process to propose rewrites for improved clarity, tone, and style, or to decrease word length for copy which has tight word length criteria (e.g. funding proposals, narrative reports, award submissions)

Proofing: grammar, consistency, clarity, typos – no substantial rewrite but can be provided as combined copy-editing and proofing service

Ghost-writing op-eds

What do you need? Want to capture your message with a great op-ed to complement your latest campaign, whether it be a brand, fundraising, or advocacy campaign?

What can I do? I can help you hone your message and voice with a conversational but authoritative tone which will work for a great an op-ed.

Copy-writing supporter/member emails and web/campaign copy

What do you need? Do you need an extra pair of hands to get a campaign out of the door? Do you have a great campaign idea but not sure how to communicate it best to your supporters or members?

What can I do? I can write emails and campaign copy to help speed up the process. Sometimes, depending on where I am in the world and where you are based, I’ll be able to do this overnight so it’s fresh in your inbox for morning review.

PR and Press statements

What do you need? Do you need to turn complex issues into snappy quotes and easy to digest info for the press and media but without losing their levity?

What can I do? I can shape your message into media-worthy quotes that provide a snapshot of your message but maintain authority and gravitas.

Report-writing

This includes annual reports and narrative donor reports, and can be the entire content development process from inception to completion, or specific support for a phase of the report writing.

What do you need? Do you have some great work to showcase but need another eye to pull it together into a well-structured, clearly written and powerful report?

What can I do? I can bring together your most innovative learning and success stories into inspiring and well-thought out reports for donors and supporters, that read easily and communicate your brand effectively.

 

Proofing and copy-editing

Proofing and copy-editing English language content, with particular strength in human rights and international content

What do you need? Do you need another pair of eyes to catch those typos and make sure your copy flows and reads well for an English language audience? Do you want to make sure your copy is consistent and uses up to date progressive terminology?

What can I do? I can pick up typos with my super sharp eye and ensure that your copy is clear and flag any discrepancies or issues so that you can fix them before you design, publish, or print.

Translation Review

Translation Review (as either just proofing or including copy-editing) (checking alignment with Spanish, French, Portuguese original)

What do you need? Do you have colleagues and partners who are great at writing in English but some things are lost in translation? Or maybe your translation budget is tight so you’ve used google translate and edited but need someone to check that all is translated ok and as strong as it can be?

What can I do? I can make sure that what is said in English matches the original, particularly in terms of nuance, tone, and style with an advanced proofing service. I can comment on the document with questions to clarify translation for you to completed internally, as you see fit. Or If you want to include copy-editing, I can directly advise on more natural English phrasing that better reflect the sense of the original.
