The Challenge

Transform a 200-page "wall of text" .doc containing 50+ policy proposals drafted by EuroCham's members into Cambodia’s first-ever White Book (in one week).


The Solution

  1. Revamped passive "officialese" text into an engaging, active voice to increase ministers' likelihood of reading the extensive proposals.

  2. Developed a novel layout concept to ease the tediousness of skimming through dense policy proposals

  3. Laid out the book, page by page, in time for the deadline


The Result

1,000 copies went to ministry heads, CEOs, and EU agencies back in Europe, where it gained an informal reputation as the best chamber of commerce policy white book in the world. Consequently, the Cambodian Government responded to or resolved dozens of policy suggestions, scoring a decisive victory for EuroCham and its members.
