As a specialist in service marketing in B2B, my focus is on live communication, especially exclusive events, conferences and trade shows. Since 2018 I have also regularly managed digital event formats and from spring 2020 continuously designed and organized projects in the digital and hybrid sector. Most recently I built and launched a corporate studio. I have project experience as an employee, interim manager, freelancer, consultant and organizer. I have worked for international corporations as well as mid-sized companies and public institutions. My focus is on the emotional anchor – events with a WOW effect. Participants should feel individually well taken care of, experience a special atmosphere and share that emotional moment with others – online and offline!
