Team Leaders

Journalism and publishing

Tony Mallett has been a professional journalist for more than two decades, editing several local papers, freelancing for ‘nationals’, and heading up the production department, more recently, on two Brussels-based international publications.

Aside from undertaking freelance journalism work and being a partner in Sinergy, he also publishes and edits a leisure magazine, under the company’s umbrella.

He also has considerable experience in conference and event promotion using media marketing.

An established member for seven years of the largest permanently based press corps in the world, his knowledge and contacts in European printed media are second to none.

Promotion, marketing and publishing

Lee Ober has lived in Europe for almost a decade, five of those years in the Czech Republic where he published a successful magazine before relocating to Brussels with his diplomat wife.

As well as a newspapers and magazine background as a freelance, he has worked extensively with advertising agencies, PR companies, lobbying groups and EU institutions.

This experience allowed the development of key writing, article placement and language-service skills.

As one recent example, Lee’s varied abilities led him to play a key role in the launch and promotion of a unique musical charity project, several concerts and Sinergy’s own magazine, UP Front. As well as on the latter, he works alongside Tony in various journalistic projects.

As an in-house IT specialist, Ian adds significantly to Sinergy’s range of skills.
