Ann-Marie Plumb
Copywriting Consultant
Biography
I have always loved to write and I’m passionate about connecting with people and driving zealous brand loyalty through the magic of words! I’m fascinated by the psychology behind what makes people tick, and I use this knowledge to craft copy that captures and holds the reader’s attention.
I grew up in a small town in Cambridgeshire, but for the past few years I’ve been living in the very vibrant and buzzing borough of Camden, London.
Last year, I decided to take my passion for writing and my love for adventure to the next level and I’m now living the digital nomad dream, working from my laptop while travelling the world! Nothing makes me happier than exploring new places, immersing myself in different cultures, and finding inspiration along the way. I also write a blog about my life and travels, and my ultimate dream is to have a book published one day… watch this space!

Teresa Stevens
Consultant
Biography
After growing up on the (sometimes 😉) sunny south coast of the UK and living in Australia briefly, I’m now based in London with my partner, enjoying the hustle and bustle of city life and all the opportunities that come with having Europe on my doorstep!
As you would expect for the Content Manager here at Mach Media, I’m SUPER passionate about all things Content and Communications!
I love the satisfaction of seeing an idea come to life, and being a part of all the creative and strategic stages it passes.
With over 8 years’ experience in account management, events, and marketing, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of industries and company sizes. I enjoy nothing more than helping businesses achieve their goals and being a part of each unique teams’ achievements.
When I’m not exercising my creative side on content, you’ll find me at the gym, away on a city break or lost in a good book.

Søren Friis Larsen
Consultant
Biography
As an executive advisor specializing in communication and crisis management, I have been called upon countless times to offer live and urgent advice on managing pretty much any type of crisis from global product recalls, cyber-attacks, regulatory dawn raids, CEO or employee fraud, large-scale layoffs or medical malpractice to social media shit storms or false rumors in the press. I have been in many boardrooms and war rooms in the intense first hours of a crisis helping management make sense of the situation, gather as much reliable information as possible, play out critical scenarios, including worst-case, and deciding on a plan of action which always includes what, to whom, and how to communicate about the incident. I have designed and executed many crisis simulations and war games devised specifically to test and train organizations for when the storm hits.
Based on these experiences, I help companies, organizations, and senior executives prepare optimally ahead of time through risk assessment, planning, crisis management governance, issue mapping, stakeholder analysis, communication strategy, and executive and spokesperson training. Always favoring a proactive approach, I assist both newly appointed and long-established executives in building and managing their reputation and thought leader status, and I help organizations build credibility on the issues important to them which serves as a reputational moat around their brand, PR and marketing efforts.
When I am not working or networking with people smarter than myself (the vast majority of people I meet), I am a curious and voracious reader, enjoy competitive chess, and treasure the mental reset of a long run or bike ride.

Simon Chopier
Consultant
Biography
As a digital strategist at Mach Media, I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to help companies maximize their return on investment by means of internet marketing. I focus on digital marketing trends and analyze how to effectively implement internet marketing strategies.
What started out as a hobby became my full-time job. I worked for several years within the digital industry and it taught me that simply trying something online doesn’t work. To quote: do or do not, there is no try. You need to raise the bar each day and your level of curiosity for new trends will determine your level of success.
I hold a bachelor’s degree in informatics, a master’s degree in commercial science and a second master’s degree in general management. It’s my belief that a day without learning is a day not lived. I am always open to new ideas and welcome new ways of thinking. In my private time, I participate in powerlifting and cardiovascular training. This has taught me a lot about discipline and that most importantly, you can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

Kelly Lataire
Operations Specialist
Biography
In 2015, I took on the hefty responsibility of managing operations at Mach Media. I handle various administrative tasks, ranging from office management to human resources and accountancy while ensuring everything goes well within the office structure.
I started my professional career in 2006 in the accounting department of an international travel agency, liaising between suppliers and the accounting department. Three years later I moved on to working for an international discount food chain where I looked after the accountancy. In 2014, I was looking for a new challenge when my career path led me to Across Group, a sister company of Mach Media. I began as the office manager and then became the community manager. I feel that it’s important to build a happy community of colleagues within any organization. I believe when people enjoy what they do, they are more productive and live happier lives.
In my spare time, I like reading a good book and spending time with family and friends.

Hans Van Puyenbroeck
Consultant
Biography
My upbringing has been strongly influenced by two countries: Belgium and the US. I was born in Belgium but raised in Arkansas. After graduating at Erasmushogeschool in the capital of Belgium with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism I dove into the world of marketing and communications. From corporate communications, social media strategy, newsletters, websites to video marketing – I’ve left no stones unturned in the marketing realm.
As a sportsman I have always felt a natural desire to do better and more – beyond ‘just’ winning. I carry this philosophy into my personal and professional life. As an Account Manager I want to do the same for our clients. I want to help them evolve, grow and find the best ways for them to achieve their goals.
In my free time you won’t find me sitting down too often. In recent years I’ve transitioned from playing basketball to coaching. I coach youth basketball (U16-U18) and assist for a seniors team. When I’m not coaching or taking coaching courses, I’m trying to stay fit so I can keep up with my two young daughters.

Bruno Hanssens
Video Consultant
Biography
As a video content creator at Mach Media, I create animations and videos for diverse audiences and channels. With a background in animation, filming and editing, I love to create, starting from a blank screen. After spending hours on an animation, going over a cut for the 100th time and finally getting that sound perfectly aligned, it gives me great pleasure to show the result to clients.
Before joining Mach Media, I previously worked at both agencies and big corporations. I have enjoyed learning from the two sides and witnessing how video has been increasing the go-to choice for many companies. As video is becoming more and more important in conveying a brand’s message, I relish helping clients effectively transmit their communication in a stylish yet compelling manner through video format.
During my free time, I love to get away from the computer. Whenever I get the chance, I’m out hiking, skiing or surfing. When I can be on the road, I also enjoy photography, especially capturing nature and wildlife shots.
