International Association of Professional Writers & Editors – Letter of Recommendation

Gianluca Laterza – Senior Sales Director Europe, Beonprice

I had the privilege of working with and managing Barbara at bidroom and Ugo.travel. We worked on several projects together, including revamping the Ugo.travel website to better present our B2B product. She also wrote the external partnerships’ and hoteliers’ monthly newsletters as well as email blasts to B2C members of bidroom. In addition, she coordinated and edited several white papers for lead generation purposes. She also worked with the product team on UX content for the B2C and B2B websites and landing pages. One of her main roles where she excelled was content strategy for the B2C bidroom blog, which drove traffic to the hotel membership website. She wrote, edited and designed the WordPress page for the blog that covers travel and hospitality topics pertinent to bidroom members. I was impressed with her writing and content strategy skills and her ability to adapt to all the tasks she undertook while at bidroom. I highly recommend her to any hospitality company seeking a professional creative writer impassioned by the travel industry.

It is without reservation that I recommend Barbara Nelson as a candidate for an English teaching position in a foreign country.  I have worked with Barbara for over one year where she serves as the news editor for both our Associate Newsletter and Resident/Family publication. Barbara’s editing skills are comprehensive and accurate. She has a sound command of the English language both grammatically and in the oral form. These newsletter articles are created by many people and she gathers them, edits and formats the articles. As the editor, she generates the theme for all contributors to follow and then ensures that the publications are organized, informative and professionally presented.
