With over 15 years of experience in event and media hosting - from international conferences, to local stakeholder engagement and design workshops, to promotional films and podcasts - Rebekah offers a variety of PR and media services in both English and Norwegian languages.
Services:
Stakeholder and User Engagement:
Having worked with early phase architectural projects for more than 15 years, I understand both the complexity as well as the rich value that can be created when stakeholder engagement is conducted well. A variety of perspectives and needs should not hinder a project’s development, but rather form a robust base that will ensure a project’s success over a longer period of time.
Together we can design both the ideological and physical engagement materials. This can range from digital egagement, to physical workshops, to lectures and events. Engaging many stakeholders means reaching out in multiple ways.
Hosting and Promotion:
I’m adept at hosting and promoting events where audience engagement is paramount. I can offer vibrant and energetic presentations which captivate the audience, creating an enjoyable and memorable experience for all attendees. I am experienced in creating promotional films and materials that will bring attention to your event.
I take the time to understand the tone, theme, and objectives of each specific event, infusing a touch of my dynamic hosting style while staying true to your vision. My commitment to preparation ensures a seamless execution, allowing you to relax and enjoy the event without worry.
Experience:
LovelyStay, Portugal.
