    • Account Director
      • Mar 2015 - Jul 2019

      Directing several high level customers from different branches. My account teams varied from 10-25 team members, so I am used to manage big bands. The services that I consulted with my teams were data driven marketing, search engine marketing (SEM, SEO), analytics, media planning & purchase, marketing and media strategies. The key idea is to plan and execute what ever the customer needs within marketing communication. Preferably not just one shots, but building together with client´s team a solid entity of logical activities. Me and my team, we deliver! In time, as agreed and aiming to exceed the expectations. I actively participated in pitches with a high winning rate. * Account Management * Team Lead * FMCG * Optical branch * Car industry * Nordic co-operation * Digital marketing * Digital innovations * Sales funnel
