Why Mr Mark?

Credentials

Mr Mark is based on strong enduring partnerships with educational institutions and businesses in Indonesia.

We pride ourselves on delivering successful presentation writing workshops to students and career professionals to improve their writing skills with passion, confidence and influence.

With over 25 years experience of professional writing in both Australia and Indonesia in the fields of the Australian media, corporate communications and various publicity roles in Jakarta (since 1994), director Mark Richardson has generated a unique understanding of the Indonesian culture that remains the underlying strength to his presentation content, style and teaching methods.

Since 2014, Mr Mark have worked closely with Indonesian university rectors, lecturers, school teachers and students, to package a range of writing workshops and presentations that maintain high levels of student attention, interaction and skill development. They are tailored programs for beginners, intermediate and professional business writers that instill self-confidence, and deliver results.

Mark’s expertise has generated endorsement of the Australian Federal Government providing him the opportunity to extensively tour Indonesia and has since presented to over 5,000 students, conducted periodic workshops and privately mentored students and business professionals to up-skill and write with purpose, direction and voice.

Mr Mark is back in 2022 and beyond. Write on…
