GLOBAL MEDIA SERVICES HAS EXPERTISE IN:
- Delivering technical writing
- Providing extensive sub-editing and production of final documents
EXAMPLE 1
GMS provided content and production for the International Olympic Committee for their “Technical Manual on Media” (2005).
We provided text for various component sections, and then delivered reviews and mark ups for IOC management to address in the final document. We delivered final sub-editing and production of the 127 page document, used as a guide for requirements of Organising Committees at subsequent Summer and Winter Olympic Games.

KEY FOCUS OF OUR APPROACH
- English written clearly and simply.
- We understand that our target audience often includes many who do not have English as their main language: therefore this heightens the need for clear, concise language.
- We have a professional approach. We always have at least “two sets of eyes” across any document before it is published or sent to the client, and there is always ongoing discussion about style and content questions.'
- Accuracy is never sacrificed for speed.
- We emphasise a clear presentation of information: where possible, diagrams, screen-captures, photos are incorporated.
- Open lines of communication with the client are critical, to double check on issues, raise concerns, keep abreast of developments.
- We maintain transparency in our operation: timelines are clearly defined, and KPIs agreed upon.
Our database of freelance workers encompasses more than 1000-plus people, across almost 70 countries and many languages. This gives us the capacity to work 24-hours a day to meet critical deadlines.
We have a significant component of professional sub-editors who have worked for major agencies, newspapers etc. as well as journalists and reporters. Importantly, they are tried and tested in this environment, and specialise in delivering to a variety of clients, working to a variety of style guides and policies
We are ready to tackle any editorial task.
