Bio
Kasper Cort Pedersen
I had the pleasure of working with Mads Jensen at Bestseller in my role as responsible for the Jack & Jones marketing team. The task was to sharpen the Jack & Jones marketing profile, to strengthen the brand impact in the primary markets and to control the media planning from headquarters. The team created international and integrated campaigns running in more than 15 countries. As Country Marketing Responsible Mads worked closely together with the media agency (OMD) and he succeeded in launching several campaigns successfully - together with the marketing colleagues and the chain committee in the specific countries. Mads is dedicated, hardworking and a valuable asset for any company wanting to work cross border. Communication wise Mads is excellent and his outgoing profile is a valuable asset when working with chain committees and other stakeholders.

Update! After a year with great results, Sengetid.dk was sold to Sengespecialisten - part of Lars Larsen Group - in October 2021. This also meant that my task in the board of directors was done. Sengetid.dk is a really interesting Danish scale-up company, which has grown rapidly since it was founded in 2015. The company sells quality beds online and has established its own strong brand, Norhland. In the circle of owners and investors, there are strong business profiles, so the coming years will be interesting in every way. www.sengetid.dk Show less
