About Liz Fletcher
Liz Fletcher is a seasoned PR professional who has worked in-house for many US and Canadian enterprise software companies, usually in Europe-wide PR or marketing director roles. After more than 20 years’ experience in the software industry, Liz set up Fletcher PR in January 2003. Fletcher PR offers content development, PR consulting and translation services to high-tech companies in Europe and North America.
Liz also works as a freelancer with a number of high-tech PR agencies in Germany and the UK. She provides them and their clients with copywriting and translation services, as well as occasional PR projects. In these cases, she uses the relevant agency’s brand rather than the Fletcher PR name.
A UK national, Liz has lived and worked in the UK, Germany (1983-93) and France (1994 to date). She is based near Paris and speaks and writes French and German fluently.

- Creation and placement of a bylined customer case study or journalistic article about the benefits of your products.
