Need a strong writer and meticulous editor with broad knowledge of climate change, sustainable development, artificial intelligence, and more? Look no further. As a communications specialist consulting to global organizations and universities, I work to develop high-quality communication products (e.g., reports, policy briefs, website copy) to drive impact. My goal is to make research on topics of global concern more accessible to non-specialists. I believe in the power of human connection to make facts and figures relatable. I apply a narrative-based and solutions-oriented approach to all of my work. I have many years of experience collaborating with global teams. I respect deadlines and provide honest and constructive feedback. As one of my recent clients kindly said, "Brendon is a good communicator, very well organized, and transparent about his workflow. He takes initiative." I have worked with leading international organisations, research institutes, and universities. Clients include UNEP, FAO, UN-Habitat, CARE, the University of Saskatchewan, the Deepening Democracy Programme, the World Urban Forum, and the African Centre for Cities and African Climate and Development Initiative (both at the University of Cape Town). Here's what I can do for you and your organisation:1) Write clear and well-researched reports, policy briefs, white papers, web articles, and more 2) Edit books, reports, and website copy with a keen eye for detail and narrative structure 3) Develop effective communication strategies to ensure your communication efforts reach the right target audience in the right way 4) Train researchers to communicate effectively5) Facilitate engaging and collaborative workshops, webinars, and team writing sessions Want to work together?
