I’m very pleased to recommend Franz Fricke and his company, Synergy Media Specialists (SMS). As a marketing executive for Advanced Vision Morocco, I’ve worked with Franz for The Japan Times 2019 Morocco Report. Franz has been a key player on his team; his skills and leadership qualities undoubtedly make his team a valuable asset to the newspaper.
Franz has helped us find success at AVM, increasing our visibility in the crowded construction market of Morocco. Whether on LinkedIn, Google, or our own web site, many in the industry have reacted positively to his interview with our general manager; it was well-written, concise, and portrayed our GM in the most positive light. The engagement with our company’s LinkedIn page went through the roof; some true VIPs of the construction industry have liked, shared, and commented on our post. Indeed, Franz’s team have demonstrated that they are skilled copywriters; using the interview’s limited wordage with maximum effectiveness.
Franz can plan, create, and market well-written content and build a global presence for your company. He’s an excellent writer and editor with a facility for translating technical information into engaging content. He has his finger on the pulse of global trends and provides content that’s both useful and captivating to his readers. In short, Franz is a person with vision.
