Communication is in my blood. As long as I can remember, I knew this was my way. I started very early, on Lidador da Maia radio, switched to Rádio Placard, to, after some time, have caught the attention of the management of Rádio Press (now TSF), which invited me to be part of one of the biggest and best projects radio station. I tried the press, first at Diário de Notícias, and, after fulfilling the mandatory military service, at Jornal de Notícias, which was my home for almost a decade. At this time, I was already in charge of the press offices of many tennis tournaments, such as press officer and speaker, largely because of the five languages I speak and my ability to adapt and solve problems. I did a break in tennis for 8 years, when I was invited to work at the Porto City Council. However, I never left my true calling, communication. I was just postponing what would become a reality in early 2018, the return to journalism, to tournaments, to do what makes me happy and where I feel comfortable.

I always dreamed of being able to have my brand, based on my experience as a communicator. That is why the idea for COUTOEVENTS came about. It is a brand, a designation of what I do as a speaker and press officer, a way of giving a name to a function that I perform with passion, professionalism and dedication. But it is not easy. Right now this is my 100% occupation, but without any support, and, in an initial phase in this format, I need help, who believe in my project, in my work. The departments that suffer the most from budget cuts and which are supposedly the easiest to extinguish have always been those of communication and marketing. If so in a company, imagine yourself in a project that is exactly that: communication. Even so, I believe that with the work that I have done and the spirit of always doing more and better, of helping companies, clubs, institutions, athletes to improve communication, I can be the answer to the problems that all of us face. they need to communicate well.

And that is what I can do, eliminate noise so that communication can flow easily. Being a small but functional machine, I need some means that are essential to improve the quality of the communication that I can offer. In addition to the technical means, also the time spent on each job, perfecting all forms of communication, so that the whole process is effective and the customer is satisfied with the results. So I need you, your support. In return, everyone who can help me will be rewarded, will have a visibility in all communication that I do, except in the tests where there are strict and defined image criteria.

Thank you very much for your time and for believing in me, in my project, in my life.

About the author

COUTOEVENTS is me, Pedro Ferreira Couto. I was born at Maternidade Julio Dinis, in Porto, on April 11, 1973. I have always been a communicator. I started on the radio, in the 80s, worked at Rádio Lidador da Maia, Rádio Placard, Rádio Press, then later on by Diário de Notícias, Jornal de Notícias, occasionally with television comments on RTP, I was and am responsible for the press offices from several national and international tennis and padel tournaments, a former federated football, handball and tennis athlete, I speak five languages (Portuguese, English, Spanish, French and Italian), I am married, father of 4 children, Catholic, I love cinema and I am above all humanist. I am very positive and I believe in the work I do and do. Be it a single client or a large company, my attitude is exactly the same: dedication and professionalism.

Budget and due dates

To improve the quality of the work I do I need:

  • 1 camcorder with external micro (700 €)
  • 1 tablet for the presentations of the events and ceremonies that I do (200 €)
  • 1 portable computer with graphic capacity and storage and editing of the videos I make in each job (500 €)
  • 1 external disk for storage of jobs (80 €)
  • Travel expenses in Portugal and islands in the production and conducting of interviews and tournaments (€ 1651)
  • PPL Commission (€ 369)

The support I can get for this project has two purposes: providing the technical means I have to perform my duties with more quality, acquiring a more professional video camera, a tablet for the presentations I make at tournaments and eventually a laptop computer, that allows the editing of the videos that I make daily and that can be seen on my official website. The other purpose will be to cover, at this stage, the expenses you have with working time, interviews, editing, prospecting work with tennis and paddle clubs, etc.

Timetable:

April 2020: identification of the materials required to carry out the work

May 2020: Acquisition of the indicated materials subject to financial availability

    Friend of the chest!

    Hell, I never thought I had someone so generous and believed in my idea, my brand and the way I work. I am going to cry out this support for you. It is of the most elementary justice. All communications will have a hastag with your name or that of your company, a public reference on all COUTOEVENTS channels of this gesture. Thank you very, very much.
