Summary

As a marketing expert, I have 37 years of experience across the entire marketing mix of modern multichannel direct/dialog marketing, CRM & direct sales.

Of those 37 years, I spent 20 years as an in-house specialist and leader with staff and revenue responsibility in marketing focused on mail order, and for the past 17 years I have worked as a freelance project manager and interim manager for dialog marketing, CRM, sales, and eCommerce for well-known companies such as Glöckle Direct, Drillisch Online, R+V Insurance, DT & Shop, Alba Moda, Heine, Pearl, Green Smoothies, 1&1 Internet AG, and Deutscher Sparkassen Verlag.

My experience ranges from process analysis and optimization of marketing and direct sales workflows, to developing marketing strategies (including brand relaunch) and concepts, campaign planning and operational control of target-group-oriented dialog marketing/CRM campaigns across online/offline channels (catalogs, print mailings, outbound telesales, email marketing, SEO/SEA, webshops, media), to customer loyalty measures with internal and external loyalty programs (e.g. loyalty cards, affiliate programs, multi-partner program cooperations, etc.).

My areas of responsibility include new customer acquisition, customer retention/CRM (including reactivation), retention/prevention, and maximizing existing customers (cross- and up-selling), including budget planning, advertising performance monitoring, and campaign reporting.

With well over 1,000 successfully executed target-group-specific dialog marketing campaigns, I have proven know-how in planning and running marketing activities across all channels, as well as solid expertise in campaign management and processes—from action planning, concept, copy and design, production planning, tender coordination, to internal and external implementation control, including analysis and optimization. I also have extensive experience in purchasing marketing and printing services and media.

As an expert in address selection and target group analysis, I have delivered significantly better contribution margins for many companies through optimized selections, address qualification, and customer value analysis (lifetime value) including acquisition channel analysis.

I also have long-standing experience in end-to-end management, project coordination, and leadership of complex marketing and eCommerce projects (multi-project management). This includes resource and time planning (schedules and milestones), project and budget controlling, reporting, and process documentation. I am skilled in running workshops to refine requirements, writing requirement specifications, reviewing and approving functional specs, and managing internal teams and external providers.

I have planned, conceptualized, coordinated, and overseen the implementation and relaunch of webshop systems and their operations for brands like Quelle, Bader, AGS, Eurotops, AMRITA, and Green Smoothies.

Excellent presentation and communication skills, negotiation ability, analytical strength, strong numerical understanding, and advanced MS Office skills complete my profile.
