Background

Educated at Repton School (est. 1557), one of Britain's foremost independent schools, where leading names from the world of business, politics, religion, sports and entertainment are educated, Martin Robinshaw went on to complete a degree in Business Management (BSc.) at Manchester Metropolitan University in England, and a diploma in Marketing and Computer Studies at Napier College in Edinburgh, Scotland. He then went on to work in sales and marketing on several computer titles including PC User and CadCam International at EMAP Business and Computer Publications, the B-to-B Division of EMAP PLC, one of Europe's largest publishing houses. After several years at EMAP, he subsequently moved on to take up managerial posts at Dennis Publishing Co. Ltd, where he was assistant advertisement manager on Mac User and advertisement manager on Microscope (the then market-leading PC trade weekly). In his first ad agency post before moving to Germany, his position as Key Account Manager for Electronic Technology included developing innovative projects for electronic dialogue marketing. Here, he conceived and managed several projects for Blue Chip companies such as Unilever and Shell.

He has been working as an independent marketing & advertising consultant for English language markets, language services project manager and consultant, translator, editor, proofreader, copy-writer, travel writer and journalist for English language markets since 1996. His client portfolio includes many German, British and US American Blue Chip companies, and several Global leaders in the translation services industry such as Euroscript and the bigword Group.

Martin Robinshaw has two sons, Fynn and Kjell.
