WHAT WE DO
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Founded by author, former Norway Exports Editor-in-Chief, and Olympic organizer David John Smith, Norway Communicates is dedicated to working closely with the Norwegian government and business sector to assist in bridging the “communications gap” between Norway and the world.
Norway Communicates operates within three broad areas of operation:
PUBLISHING, EDITING & JOURNALISTIC SERVICES
Norway Communicates partners with communication service provider Lingu Nordic AS in providing clients:
Total Publishing Solutions
- Material such as annual reports and corporate magazines are key in communicating your successes, goals and status both internally and externally. We are prepared to undertake the entire development process – or work closely with you and your existing partners in improving your material dependent upon your needs.
Journalism & Strategic Writing
- Communicating your activities to an external, often an international target group requires understanding, expertise, and creativity. Do not leave that to chance. Norway Communicates, in partnership with Lingu Nordic have the experience and track record that will put your needs in good hands.
Translation Services
- Translation must not be left to chance, but be undertaken by a partner who understands the core message of what is to be translated, the target groups, and your goals as the client. We will not only translate with excellence - we strengthen your message through translation.
Contact either Norway Communicates or Lingu Nordic AS for more information regarding these services.
BIDS, TENDERS & APPLICATIONS
Development of a bid, tender or application for a major project or event requires an understanding of client needs coupled with the ability to organize and communicate the vision – and the details. Norway Communicates’ founder, DJ Smith has worked closely with major bids for over a decade, from Olympic Games and other major sporting events, to European Union invitations-to-bid. Smith also has experience from the “other side of the table” – evaluating bids and making recommendations.
The undertaking of a major bid, tender or application can be time consuming and costly – do not leave anything to chance. Contact Norway Communicates for more information regarding how we can assist. See more of DJ Smith’s background here.
INTERACTIVE MEDIA & EVENTS
Norway Communicates works with a network of national and international individuals and companies in development of events, design, web solutions, film presentations and audio solutions.
For an example of one of our creative partners, see the musician Arne Kollandsrud. Contact Norway Communicates’ webmaster Michaela Karlsson for more information regarding web solutions or DJ Smith for event and other information.
