This blog is written by me, Timo Lüge.
I’m a communications professional with a long history in broadcast, print and online media. You can hire me.
After working as a journalist for eight years, I’ve spent four years working for the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement in Geneva, Haiti and Liberia.
- from 1999 to 2007 I worked a journalist for a German wire service and for the online- and radio-news of a radio- and tv-channel.
- From 2007 to the end of 2010 I was responsible for the online and social media activities of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and occasionally coordinated the organization’s public communication as deputy manager of the media unit.
- After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the IFRC seconded me as a spokesperson to the Shelter Cluster.
- In 2011, I worked as protection delegate for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in rural Liberia.
- Presently I am a self-employed, independent communications expert who is helping humanitarian organizations and NGOs to solve their information management and communications challenges, including the effective use of social media.
Communication, information and discovering how the two can be used to improve the world we live in, is a passion of mine. I’m using this blog to share problems and solutions, to think out loud and to hear from others what they think about the topics that I find interesting.
I hope you enjoy this blog.
