Jonathan Weinberg
Storyteller in England, United Kingdom
I am a senior journalist, writer, editor and media consultant with two decades of experience in newspapers, websites, publishing, communications, PR, content creation and storytelling. (I don't look old enough, right?)
My work has regularly reached millions of people and been featured in every UK national newspaper, on radio, on TV, online, in countless consumer and b2b magazines and in all sorts of digital forms from apps to leading portals and websites such as Fortune and Yahoo!
My storytelling has helped everyone from FTSE 100 company to one-person startup create engaging and insightful internal and external messaging, angles and narratives delivered across a range of channels.
Companies I have worked with include Sky, Carphone Warehouse, Tesco, Nissan Europe, Championship Manager, Comet, Geek Squad, TNA Wrestling, Orange, John Lewis, Internet Watch Foundation, YouView, Three, Virgin Atlantic, TalkTalk, Nikon, Nvidia and many more.
In my career, I have written on topics as varied as sex to servers, robots to religion and food to football. I even spent a series as The X Factor's Chief Online Editor back in 2011 when Little Mix won!
Every job I do is built on telling stories that matter to someone, however niche or diverse the audience.
This could be to drive retail footfall, increase online sales, boost profile and reputation, push downloads, attract investment, win new business and awards or just to raise a smile.
I specialise in making even the most complicated language and propositions simple to understand and show value.
I also have a wealth of startup and challenger brand experience generating PR success on limited budgets.
This is all backed up by clear, honest and frank advice on briefs, plans and projects.
My experience has also led me to train hundreds of PRs across Britain and Europe, both in-house and within agencies, to write better, work more effectively with journalists and develop client influence with fresh ideas and approaches.
I've a keen interest in politics, digital transformation, our changing society, economic disruption and social impact as well as consumer affairs, technology, film and TV.
I am available to individuals, companies or agencies for brainstorms, idea development, training, content creation, storytelling, copywriting and editing, reports, event panel moderating, media outreach and press release support.
