I do
Science Communications
I help scientists communicate their research with narratives and content that move people, call to action and influences the global agenda on renewable energy.
I am on a mission to amplify science in society. In a time where facts are being negotiated as opinions, there is an urgent need to put science back on the map. I argue that the grand challenges within the green transition can only be solved with scientific facts, dialogue and interdisciplinary collaboration.
I build
Scientific narratives
I’ve been telling stories all our lives – with words, images and sound. While media and formats have evolved, one thing remains reassuringly the same: know your audience, find out what resonates with them, and tell the story well.
I recommend Simon to anyone looking to strengthen their strategic communication as well as the execution of it. Simon consistently delivers very high-quality output across communication media and platforms, which clearly shows his experience and know-how.
I wholeheartedly recommend Simon’s work to communicate science. Working on narratives and key messaging is not always easy and can even be painful. Simplifications are needed, which can be difficult for a scholar who cares about detail. Nevertheless, I always felt that Simon did respect my professionalism and academic discipline. Therefore, we were able to co-create content that I felt was authentic and faithful to my research.
“Simon combines strategic mindsets and business acumen with out-of-the-box approaches. If a strategy is missing; he’ll develop one. If messaging is bad, he’ll improve it, coupling it with high-quality content with almost no input. His been my Swiss army knife for communication needs.”
“It is my pleasure to recommend Simon as a very experienced, innovative and impactful
communications professional. Simon has had a key role in transforming the communications both at DTU Wind and IEA Wind. He has a strategic as well as visionary thinking that increases visibility and impact of complex and often difficult scientific topics to communicate.”
“At Novo Nordisk, Simon was responsible for the internal newsletter and website in IT
& Corporate Development. Furthermore, Simon took part in a project aimed at
optimising the business processes related to in-sourcing of external innovation. Simon has a very strong, creative mindset and a keen eye for graphic communication. Henceforth, I have trusted his ability to conduct communication tasks for me.”
“Simon is a creative communicator who applies his skills pragmatically in order to achieve high creative quality within the timelines and budgets given. He is flexible and focuses on getting the key messages across to the audience. He understands which tools and means will most effectively support the defined communication objectives and is able to use this knowledge to generate impactful strategies for change communication”
“Simon has fully met the expectations of the work: precision, speed and excellent copy writing skills. To everyone’s satisfaction he has demonstrated the command of the core journalistic principles and was able to familiarise with new topics and communicate the essence in a clear and particularly qualified manner – before deadline”
“Simon was an asset to the news department and demonstrated a wide variety of talents. Simon is creative, flexible and conscientious. Several times he was production manager on large live broadcasts where he often had to improvise solutions, facing pressing deadlines, and simultaneously function in a sensitive teamwork. Every time with a good result.”
“Simon was our 1-stop-shop for getting high quality material. In addition to making and editing the recordings, he provided excellent end-2-end support and ensured both confident and less confident presenters were well informed of their role and how to appear on video – both personal and their material for presentation.”
