Daniel Sköld

As the first Head of CRM for kwiff Andre was tasked with the challenge of setting up our CRM communications strategy from scratch. This included switching to a more advanced external CRM system-provider while also aligning our customer communications with internal product and data development. He executed with diligence when setting up and working with automated cycles and recurring campaigns, utilizing all our channels to effectively promote our sportsbook and casino offerings. This sometimes required flexibility matching our current technical capabilities while keeping the strategic intent and ambitions for our communications intact. Andre has a very good understanding of CRM mechanics and great attention to details in setting up multiple parallel segmented activities. He has a keen eye for delivering long term results and a strong understanding of compliance rules and issues. He is also a good people person and a respected manager. Together with his colleagues he initiated several projects to further advance the efficiency of our CRM communications. This included multi-layered behavioural targeting, cross selling strategies based on profitability patterns, incremental retargeting through social channels and utilizing the possibilities of real time rewards and gamification. Andre has a strong work ethic and is very focused at his work. He was appreciated as a manager by his direct reports and considered very reliable and trusted by his managers. I would be very confident in recommending Andre to transform and improve the CRM communications and/or strategy of any organisation.
