About Juan Carlos

#ReadytoHelp

I am looking for the best option to turn the current affairs of companies, associations, citizen initiatives, or any social agent into news.
  • I draft the informational material
  • I manage relationships with journalists
  • I control the results in terms of media impact.
And I help you in the creation of content for your website, newsletters, and magazines, or in the preparation of speeches, presentations, reports, or any internal or external communication document.

When there is nothing to hide, there is certainly much to tell. And there are many social actors who can and should be more present in the media. Not communicating is no longer an option: for image, for prestige, for making a difference, and even for social responsibility.

My professional career, spanning over 30 years, has been divided almost 50% between working in the media and press office functions for various clients, including:
· Public institutions
· Academic entities
· Associations
· Companies from various sectors
· Cultural and sports initiatives

Since 2015, I have been responsible for the InterMedia Communication office, based in Bilbao.

I hold a degree in Information Sciences (Journalism specialization) from the University of the Basque Country, and I have completed postgraduate studies at the University of Deusto, as well as training courses related to various areas of IT and ICT. I have advanced knowledge of English and French, and basic knowledge of Euskara, and experience in handling the most common IT tools in my work environment. I am always available to explore new possibilities and projects that offer professional challenges.

The indicated daily budget is purely indicative: it ultimately depends on the number of working hours invested, so it is essential to know the project characteristics in advance to set an approximate price.

  • Emica Bombas
    Communication for the 120th Anniversary of Emica Bombas
    LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN
    July 2019 - November 2019 (4 months)
    Abanto y Ciérvana, Spain
    Design of the communication strategy for the 120th anniversary of a Basque SME, Emica Bombas, a manufacturer of centrifugal pumps for the energy, chemical-petrochemical, and general industrial sectors, with the aim of achieving maximum media coverage. The anniversary represented an opportunity to position the company as a newsmaker, and the strategy followed to take advantage of it was to approach the media in two phases:
    - In the first phase, announcing the anniversary celebration to a selection of journalists specializing in business information, through a Dossier that summarized the company's trajectory, anecdotes, and main figures at the present time. This document sparked the interest of various media outlets, including the main generalist newspapers, which published several extensive reports on the company and its history, or requested radio interviews.
    - In the second phase, and building on the prominence already achieved, we focused on the celebration event itself, which was attended by authorities.
    Around thirty impacts were achieved in the press, radio, TV, and internet media, including the two leading newspapers in Biscay (El Correo and Deia), the business information newspaper Cinco Días, interviews on Radio Nacional de España and Radio Euskadi, and appearances in Euskal Telebista's news programs, among others. On social media, over 7,500 views were achieved on LinkedIn.
