Mark Christian
Head of Communications
A man is only as good as his word(s). If that’s true then it makes Mark pretty good indeed.
He’s responsible for how we sound at PLOTT. If you’re reading something we’ve written, it’s probably Mark’s words.
So what does he write about? This could quickly become a boring list, so we’ll keep it short. It’s everything from the foundational story brand framework to writing content for the web, and everything in between. That could be social and blog posts, brochure copy or email marketing. Mark takes a ‘big picture’ view of our projects.
No matter if we’re talking about branding or tone-of-voice, both are all about communicating ideas. Ask Mark and he’ll tell you, this is about simplicity. What’s the difference between bad corporate-speak, jargon-filled nonsense, and good quality writing? In one word: Clarity.
But there’s more to the man than writing. Mark works closely with Anna on pitching for new business and discovery meetings. Mark also happily gets involved in other areas, and we rely on his calming influence and long experience.
I've been fascinated by words and stories for 35 years. I find it amazing that I can read a news article that's 2 minutes old, or a letter written 2000 years ago. I thought this was just because I'm a nerd. But it turns out I was also practicing for my current job.
