About Kathrin

I help luxury brands grow profitably – without diluting their premium positioning.

After 8 years in corporate marketing (Hawesko Holding, Danone/Alpro), I realized: Most premium brands struggle with the same paradox – how do I grow without becoming mainstream?

My approach combines strategic brand building with measurable revenue growth:

BRAND GROWTH STRATEGY:
→ Premiumization strategy (price psychology for luxury brands)
→ Old-money marketing (subtle communication instead of loud advertising)
→ Nervous system-based brand positioning (how do UHNW clients really buy?)
→ Feminine marketing principles (intuition meets data)

REVENUE GROWTH EXECUTION:
→ High-ticket offer development (€5K-€50K+ products)
→ Marketing automation & AI integration (scaling with technology)
→ Boutique business model design (profitable growth without mass)
→ Data-driven content strategy for premium brands

AI-POWERED MARKETING OPTIMIZATION:
I integrate AI tools for marketing automation, customer journey optimization, and predictive analytics – to scale premium brands faster and more profitably.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE:
- Luxury brand positioning & premiumization
- Revenue growth strategy for premium brands
- High-ticket sales & offer development
- AI-powered marketing automation
- Feminine marketing & consumer insights (affluent female audience)
- Content strategy for luxury brands

INDUSTRIES:
Luxury Fashion, Premium Food & Beverage, High-End Beauty, Wellness, Jewelry, Executive Coaching

AVAILABILITY:
2-3 days/week for selected luxury brands
3-6 months project duration preferred

Let's talk if your brand wants to remain premium – but needs to grow more profitably.
