Carrie Frais
Journalist, Broadcaster, Author and Content Creator
I am a native British journalist based in Spain as well as a specialist content writer, broadcaster, events host, voice-over artist and marketing & PR strategist with more than 20 years’ experience.
I have worked as a reporter and a presenter for some of the world’s leading broadcasters such as BBC World, BBC News 24, ITV News, Sky News, Sky Sports, EuroNews, BBC Radio 5Live, BBC Radio 4, LBC, Capital FM and Heart FM.
I have covered a number of major global events including the 7/7 London bombings in 2005, the 2004 Tsunami and numerous sports events.
I moved to Barcelona in 2006 when I worked for Icon International, interviewing some of the leading sportsmen and women based in Spain including Leo Messi and (at the time) David Beckham. Following that, I worked in copywriting, PR and broadcasting.
In 2008 I established MumAbroad.com, which has grown to become one of Europe’s leading English language websites for international families living in or relocating to Spain, France, Italy and Germany.
In 2014, I was one of the co-founders of Bremain in Spain, which initially campaigned for a second referendum following the UK’s decision to leave the EU and has grown to become one of Europe’s leading voices protecting the rights of British citizens living in the European Union.
In 2017, I co-founded FiG Communications, a creative and communications agency, specialising in content creation, copywriting, video production. web design & development, digital marketing, graphic design and Public Relations. FiG has been the driving force behind several property marketing awards. I am also a member of Grit, supporting clients in developing persuasive messaging, communicating effectively under pressure, and creating and delivering engaging content.
I currently host my own radio show ‘The Soundtrack to My Life’ on Radio Kanal Barcelona 106.9 FM, every Friday morning from 11am-12pm. During the hour-long programme I get a chance to delve into the lives of ‘ordinary’ people thanks to the narrative provided by some of their powerful musical memories.
I have also just completed editing and contributing to ‘#LivingTheDream’, a book which I hope will give a platform to women facing some of the major challenges we face whilst living away from our native ‘home’.
I have continued to freelance as a TV and radio broadcaster and producer in Spain, offering a Spanish viewpoint alongside some of the major European stories from the last decade.
