      Sebastian Paradis - the nom de plume of Graham C Garnett.After an absence from LinkedIn of almost 3 years due to personal problems and a period of retraining - in radio and music production and voice overs - I'm glad to be back on site and ready for business. I thank all my previous clients and professional contacts for their support up to late 2013 and I do hope you'll consider renewed acquaintance and seeking my advice and media, marketing and PR services.A consummate professional who until recently was running my own media services company in Norwich. GM Media was a co-operative of experts fronted by myself - a journalist and publicity professional whose career has spanned 35 years in newspapers, magazines, public relations and marketing. GM Media's clients were an eclectic mix - from mortgage bankers in Beverly Hills to a car valeting service in West London. Among the company's services were PR work, copy writing, marketing, website content, editing, press releases, media relations, proofreading, social media marketing, marketing strategy, article writing, script writing, script consultancy, photographic services, market research and promotions.My career as Graham Garnett began in newspapers, as a reporter and features writer, with the Eastern Daily Press in Norwich which led to further editorial and reporting roles in the local press in the South and London. Past management roles include Editorial Director of a central London-based international magazine publisher (Rococo Group). Today, still in Norwich, Norfolk, I provide freelance packages nationally and worldwide to both print media and online services on a variety of matters/subject material. Writing, editing, sub-editing and copy writing expert. Very versatile and innovative in PR, Marketing and Promotions: available to fill professional contract, short term employ and temp positions, in-house or out - packages tailored to fit all requirements. Specialist in lifestyle, consumer and human stories. Mostrar menos Golden Mustard Media (Anglia UK) Ltd was based in Norwich, UK, where I was very much 'hands on' in securing an eclectic mix of clients globally. GMM's successful portfolio included PR work, copy writing services, marketing, website content, editing, press releases, media relations, proofreading, social media marketing, and indeed all mainstream media projects. I’m a people person who now, as then, can fit in to almost every type of media work environment and never afraid to face new challenges. Company ceased operating in 2014. Mostrar menos

      Norfolk? 'Very flat and populated by dullards and ducks!' Really? Er, I don't think long time resident Stephen Fry would agree with that - nor The Guardian's Patrick Barkham: see https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2016/feb/03/in-praise-of-norfolk-holidays-beaches-subtle-beautySome observers of this new profile of mine may recall Golden Mustard Media (Anglia UK) Ltd, which was based in Norwich, UK. There - as now - I was very much 'hands on' in securing an eclectic mix of clients globally - from a mortgage bank in Beverly Hills GMM's successful portfolio included PR work, copy writing services, marketing, website content, editing, press releases, media relations, proofreading, social media marketing, and indeed all mainstream media projects.
