Esra Dillon

I have spent 27 years working in the Turkish media as a journalist in both print and broadcast, and for regional and national newspapers, magazines, websites and TV.

For the last nine years I have worked as a freelance media and PR consultant to small businesses, providing cost-effective, flexible PR packages including press release writing and providing web content.

I also enjoy media training, and have worked with The Media Trust to deliver workshops and talks to a number of charitable and not for profit organizations. I work well as part of a team, but have also spent many years working alone, and have the discipline and motivation to meet deadlines and produce crisp, tight copy on a variety of subjects.

I have excellent contacts, and can work to last minute and tight deadlines. I am highly motivated, well organised, accurate and reliable and work well on my own as well enjoying being part of a dynamic team.
