Who we are

Next Round Communications is a strategic collaboration of three businesses:

Metanoia Training & Coaching, FluentForward Translations and Coolant Productions.

We are based in the Netherlands and California (Fresno and Los Angeles). We are happy to meet in person if possible, but our consultations and services are also available via Zoom, Teams, FaceTime and other means of communication. We’ll make it happen no matter where you are!

Our collaborative approach means that we are faster and more flexible than large agencies with employees who may or may not be a good fit for your project, layers of project management that slow things down, and overhead costs that get passed on to you. We use a network of trusted colleagues for a “just in time” approach: we talk to you, we figure out what you need, and we get it done.

I’ve built up a wide network of industry professionals over the years, and I can put together a crew for any project. I can meet in person in LA, or we can meet up through FaceTime or Zoom to get a project going and keep you updated.
