English WRITing, Content and PR

Are they ever going to love your baby

if you're not even speaking their language?

I help Scandinavian companies talk to Nordic or international markets in their language of choice. That is often English.

My clients like that we can discuss their needs in Swedish.

But what if your offer is technical and complex? Well, speak simply and persuasively.

For OPIS by IHS Markit I had to make a powerful case to high value accounts in the global energy commodity market. 

My team's brand new electronic trading platform went from zero to more than $750m benchmarked.


Tim’s masterful PR approach to our complex, multi-stakeholder campaign has been a great help for us… We have also received very positive feedback from the consortium partners on his work. I highly recommend his services.

How to make and keep the social media habit
Online/IRL talk + app

“The team always say ‘yes, yes, we’ll post something’, but somehow it never happens,” she told me.

This talk is not about how to use Linkedin. It’s not about what to post or search. It’s about the behaviour change in the team –getting it done day by day and seeing a shift in market engagement in the 10 weeks following the talk. 

Book below and we’ll explore a menu of SoMe engagement habits you’d like your team sign up for. Then online, or IRL, this talk will kick off a season of app-supported habitmaking® using a proven method for sales-qualified results.

Your happiest customer experience
In their words
2 days – 9 900kr

Your prospects ask themselves: “What if I sign up for the service and it goes terribly wrong?”

Social proof puts their mind at rest more effectively than the slickest web site. A professionally-written and designed case study soothes a real pain point.

But our case study service does two other key things. It makes your happiest customer happier, because they’ve been listened to. And the result is an evergreen marketing asset you can put to work again and again.

The Brave List Inspiration workshop with app-supported brave list process
8 900kr

What’s a brave list? (clue, it’s like a to do list). 

What’s the point of a brave list (clue, personal growth, professional and personal success, a sense of satisfaction in life, happier teams).

Why will we naturally fail at using a brave list? And how can there possibly be a way to make a brave list habit?

This talk is not for the brave. This is for those things just outside your comfort zone. By definition, what makes us all a little nervous. But it is for those who like a quiz, a laugh, a game, a bit of a challenge.

Drawing on research from the University of Minnesota, the Strava Year in Sport and our habitmakers® process, I offer up a challenge to take on an awesome habit that brings amazing results.

EXPERIENCE FROM THE CORPORATE TOP FLOOR

We’ve done communications and content from the management suite of a publicy listed multi-billion dollar corporation. Put that to use

AND WE’VE GOT A START-UP ON THE SIDE

We understand the entrepreneur’s journey because we’ve been there too. From online campaigns to webinars, seminars and events

ABOUT ME

It was a hard lesson.
By the time the pre-lean analyst had finally written his 140-page blueprintthe market had moved on.

The key potential customer I’d developed went and built his own app.

So when I got another chance, I made sure we didn’t repeat the same mistake.

So what did we do differently?

We got our story straight and we started sharing it right away. We dared to book a fabulous venue and got close to the market.

We talked to our customers to find our competitor’s weak spot.

Then we began to spread an idea from Hanoi to Vancouver: “There is another way”.

And they came.

The world’s largest trader.

The world’s largest consumer.

The world’s largest producer.

Gradually they joined our new electronic marketplace.

They say that going from zero to one is the biggest step of all.

For our team at OPIS by IHS Markit, it was 0 to $750 million in benchmarked commodity trades on our brand new online platform.

PS. That’s Ossian. He’s ace.

Testimonials

Thanks for these kind comments from colleagues or customers.

Tim and I worked together as OPIS came on board with IHSMarkit. He’s a great collaborator and is open to looking at varied ideas on how to create growth and opportunity. He encourages creative thinking, is quick to recognise success and motivates all around him. His positive attitude is infectious as he see’s opportunities in challenges – a real pleasure to work with!

It’s hard to overstate the influence Tim Wright has had on me personally and professionally. Tim is that rare breed: quick with a laugh in the long hours, unquestioning in his devotion to his teams, and constantly executing on the highest level. Tim Wright is proof that growth as an organizer is synonymous with growth as a human being.

“Genuine expert and passionate about his work” is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Tim.
I had the pleasure of working with Tim for over two years at IHS Markit, collaborating on several projects to bring new business and increase the company’s revenue.
I was impressed by Tim’s ability to deal with even the toughest clients – effortlessly. That skill seemed to come perfectly naturally to him.
No matter how tense a meeting, Tim made sure everyone left with a smile.

LET’S TALK!


I’m so crazy about behaviour change, habits and hacks that I wrote a book about it

Make small daily commitments and call a buddy each morning for the follow-through. It’s such a simple concept, but such amazing things have come from it. And that includes this book, which I wrote in ten minutes a day over three years using the same buddy support system the book is about.

It’s the basis of my talks for teams and school classes in which I take up the single, non-IQ characteristic that predicts work or life success better than any other, and how in practice we can learn that skill-set.

A few talking points

Being a pub singer, swimrunning, downs syndrome, interviewing Tony Blair, a gazillion experiments with habits… that’s a few things we can chat about when we speak. And here’s a few from my work in commercial communications

HOW TO HANDLE A BLANK CHEQUE

Sanjay Khosla of Kraft Foods came to talk at our kick-off about breakthrough results, and afterwards I was handed a “Blank Cheque” by our CEO. It’s an amazing process and reveals the hidden ceiling people place on potential results

LEARNING TO HIRE

It’s great to find good people and let them flourish. As anyone knows who has recruited, when hiring you really get to live with and learn from your mistakes. I’ve learned a few good don’ts, like don’t start interviewing until there’s a decent shortlist.  

HOLDING A MARKET CLOSE

With high value prospects and a long sales cycle, sales work requires small, frequent reasons to speak. Events are ideal. A tall ship I chartered, got the key client onboard, generated 11 hours (11!) of face time and we closed the deal

AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP

Smart leaders trust. And that’s where integrity comes in. If I can’t trust myself to keep my word, then my pocket’s empty. There’s no trust to share around. Our reports watch like a hawk to see whether our fine words turn into promises kept
