We started working with Marie in late 2022.

Initially, she provided editorial support and review of our strategic report – TIN2030 – A Vision for Tin – where she provided sound advice and identified opportunities to improve the readability of the content.

Following this piece of work, we hired Marie again to help us develop a Communication Campaign around the report and to start working on a broader Communication Strategy for the organisation. Marie provided structure and steer to help identify our Key Stakeholders and identify Engagement Channels and Opportunities. She also provided advice on how to identify our Reputation and Communication objectives.

As well as her strategic counsel, she also developed the content for the campaign to highlight awareness of the report. This included Social Media content and drafting Media Releases. Her strong editing skills, a keen eye for detail, and ability to turn complicated content into easy-to-understand messages and social media posts were very valuable to our busy team.

Marie is a skilled and adaptable communicator with a keen eye for detail, and a real pleasure to work with as she is friendly, upbeat, and professional.

Marie joined my project as a freelance communication consultant in early 2022 as a Communications lead as we were seeking Internal Communication expertise for a major energy transition project in Singapore.

Her ability to understand the project and quickly build trust helped ensure she added value from the very beginning.

She evaluated the team’s ways of working to understand opportunities to strengthen internal engagement and build alignment. From this, she developed an Internal Engagement Strategy and implementation plan to build a clear line of sight to the project strategy.

Throughout her time with the project, she coached us on Change Communications and Leadership Communications and provided excellent Editorial Support and advice on how to maximise our internal channels to drive understanding of the project’s objectives and boost morale.

Marie’s positive personality helped her build relations quickly. Together with her extensive experience, her dedication, and strong work ethic, she was invaluable to our team.

If you are looking for a communication professional, I highly recommend Marie.

I hired Marie in June 2023 to work with me on an Integrated Communications Strategy for a significant announcement.

She brought strategic thinking and structure to our approach at ITA, advising us on how to identify and engage our key stakeholders, and how to leverage media and social media for the announcement.

She also provided significant editorial reviews of various materials and wrote a media release, social media content and various other messages. Her insights were invaluable to us.

Marie has deep professional expertise and experience which was complemented by her commitment to ensuring our tight deadlines were met. I highly recommend her.

I met Marie in early June when we were setting up our joint company, OrangeCoat B.V. Marie has deeply impressed us with her ability to listen to our story and intent and, based on a few hours of working together, not only produce very compelling storylines and text but also guide us through the process of making the most of the online engagement/social media.

Marie turns things around quickly and has done a tremendous job guiding us through the launch process and making sure we make the most of it. She also helped us stay clear of avoidable pitfalls.

Marie has a true gift for language and helping her clients shine online. I cannot recommend her enough.

— Thomas Moons, Partner. OrangeCoat

I’ve known Marie for many years and when I needed strategic communication advice with a keynote speech, I knew she was the person to hire.

As well as editorial inputs, she also provided steer on how to leverage techniques such as the Power of Three, and the use of Ethos, Logos, and Pathos to ensure my words were persuasive and my audience engaged.

Not only did she help shape the speech and slide content, but she also provided solid suggestions on how best to deliver the speech to keep the attention of my audience.

I highly recommend Marie for her strategic advice and her excellent speechwriting and editing skills.

Marie started volunteering with us in March 2021, firstly as a Social Media Officer and then as a Blogger.

As a Social Media Officer, Marie created engaging posts about conservation jobs, online courses, training, and interviews for our nearly 200,000 followers. She was always creative, extremely dedicated, and ensured the highest standards of quality. As well as helping to shape our social media strategy, she also created style guides to ensure our social media content was aligned across all platforms - Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Marie also developed a dedicated Social Media Campaign for a new training we offered on Communications for Conservation, and provided sound social media counsel and creative ideas for the campaign. The campaign she developed helped successfully promote the course and has formed the basis of future campaigns since, not to mention a highly popular and successful course.

In her role as a Blogger, Marie continues to help us expand our online presence. She takes huge pleasure in interviewing diverse conservationists about their careers - capturing stories and perspectives from Southeast Asia to India to Africa. She recently went above and beyond to secure one of our very first interviews with a conservation economist, to showcase this important - and often overlooked - area of conservation. Her interviews are beautifully and professionally written and are often republished and amplified by the Conservation Leadership Programme (Fauna & Flora International) - a testament to the quality of her writing.

Marie is not only skilled at writing and marketing - she's an excellent interpersonal communicator too. She's professional, positive, and results-focussed, and fantastic to have on a team. She's quick to offer support, share her leadership, and to exchange feedback in a very constructive way. Her dedication and strong work ethic have been invaluable to Conservation Careers. She’s also great fun too! I can't recommend working with her enough to support any communication and writing needs.

— Kristianne Foster, Head of Programmes at Conservation Careers

Marie did an absolutely stellar job on our team as a Blog Editor and then Blog Coordinator.

She volunteered with us at Conservation Optimism for a year and a half and during that time she edited over 25 blogs while also contributing to the content and design of some of our recent resources such as our Pearls of Wisdom for Budding Conservationists toolkit.

Marie is incredibly pro-active and a great team player. She regularly stepped up to help us recruit new volunteers be it by being on the interviewing panel or by onboarding new members. She also always took the time to feedback on the content our interns were designing and played a mentoring role with a few of our volunteers.

Look no further if you're searching for someone to help you bring your conservation stories to life. I can't recommend Marie enough!
