Native English content with a Dutch touch
Copywriting, editing and podcast & webinar 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, and cycling sectors. But whatever the subject, it's all about the best native English-language communications, with a Dutch touch. 👆🏼That's the view from Coopercomms HQ in Haarlem, btw...
Some recent work👇🏼
Podcasts
Informative and inspiring podcasts are a great way for companies to reach stakeholders. Dutch fintech Fyndoo asked me to host their inspiring chat-show, featuring great conversations around finance, lending and tech.
Webinars
It is always informative and inspiring to host webinars at Vanderlande, one of the biggest logistics process automators in the world.
Podcast
I had a blast hosting this Nuffic podcast with four students recently. Fresh opinions on the hot topic of housing, which is especially challenging for young people from outside the Netherlands.
Accell Group Annual Report
Editing, translating and copy consultancy on Accell Group's 2021 annual report was fun. Why? Because Accell owns Batavus, Koga, Sparta, Lapierre and a host of other legendary bike names!
Head of Content
Interim role for the launch of the Mediahuis Ireland website together with our good buddies in Amsterdam WayneParkerKent. Writing the content, co-sourcing the images and putting it all together in WordPress.
Hoogwegt Group Annual Report
Hoogwegt Group is the world's biggest privately-owned dairy and plant-based ingredients trading company. Writing all the editorial content for their (2023-2017) annual reports is always interesting and rewarding.

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.
