What I do
I usually work as a consultant on mid- and longterm assignments, while the range is wide. Past contracts have been as long as 18 months and as short as one week with a tendency to the longer ones. I offer a variety of services that include public relations strategy, creative ideas for pr campaigns, social media campaigning, media training, speech writing, crisis communication, online concept of complete websites, and editorial services. For details please refer to the Services page.
With whom I’ve worked
I started my professional career as a newspaper journalist in 1995 and soon joined German business weekly Wirtschaftswoche to head of its online edition for almost five years. After working with pr-firm Cohn & Wolfe, Arthur Andersen and Bertelsmann Music Group I started my own consultancy in 2003 and worked with clients like Asian Development Bank, Electrolux, Brockhaus, T-Online and others (for details refer to the References page). In 2008 I joined the German Development Cooperation to work as a technical adviser to the National Media Commission in Ghana. After completing the two year contract, in October 2010 I’ve restarted the consulting business in 2011.
Education
I hold an MA in Sociology and History from Konstanz University in Germany and did additional coursework on the same subjects as well as on photography at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, USA. After the completion of my studies I joined a regional newspaper for a two year editorial traineeship.
