Company: John Lister Writing
I worked there from 2/2005 until now
My work included a quarterly magazine, a weekly e-mail newsletter and numerous press releases. I wrote, edited and designed more than 20 editions of Plain English, the Campaign's magazine. As well as producing a lively, engaging publication, I had to take particular care that the magazine reflected the Campaign's commitment to clarity. I launched a weekly electronic newsletter sent to the Campaign's supporters. I wrote around 250 editions and built up a readership of more than 10,000 people in 80 countries. The newsletter was designed to be informative and entertaining in a concise format. Effective press releases were a key part of Plain English Campaign's publicity, to the point that I was soon able to remove the need for any form of paid advertising. Given the nature of the organisation, producing clear, concise and effective releases wasn't just a necessity for effectiveness: it was the only way of avoiding a charge of hypocrisy!
