About Kristof

Marketing rarely fails due to the idea – but rather due to technical implementation.

As aSenior Digital Marketing Lead(11+ years of experience), I bridge the gap between vision and IT reality. I don't offer B2B companies purely PowerPoint strategies, but rather ensure that the technical keyboard (MarTech) plays and campaigns deliver real revenue contribution.

My Added Value:I am your interface expert. I speak Marketing and Tech.

My Core Areas:

Strategic Ops & Lead Gen
From website visitor to Sales Qualified Lead (SQL). I build scalable processes.
  • Setup ofMarketing Automation(Braze, HubSpot, Mailchimp)
  • Lead scoring models & Smarketing processes
  • ROI-focused budget allocation forGoogle Ads (SEA)& Social

Technical Implementation & MarTech
I intervene operationally when it gets technical and manage IT teams/agencies.
  • Management of complexCMS projects(Sitecore, WordPress)
  • Tracking concepts (GA4, GTM) for clean data
  • Technical SEO & GDPR compliance

Japan Market Entry (Cross-Border)
Your operational bridge to Asia, based in Tokyo.

Why work with me?

Seniority:
Enterprise experience from Silicon Valley and Japan.

Remote Advantage:
I work from Japan (JST). While your team in Germany sleeps, I implement tasks – results are often available when you arrive at the office in the morning.

Plain Talk:
Focus on pipeline growth instead of empty "brand awareness".

Experience

  • KLabX
    Freelance Digital Marketing & Web Specialist
    July 2025 - Today (1 year and 1 month)
    Tokyo, Japan
    1. Strategic Marketing & Operations
    I don't just develop concepts, I ensure their operational excellence.

    Lead Management Strategy: Definition of lead scoring models and nurturing processes that harmonize sales and marketing (Smarketing).

    Process Design: Building scalable marketing infrastructures that generate measurable revenue (pipeline), not just clicks.

    Budget Efficiency: Strategic deployment of paid media budgets (Google Ads, Social) with a focus on profitability.

    2. Technical Understanding & Intervention
    I'm not purely a developer, but I speak their language. When projects stall, I step in.

    Stakeholder Communication: I translate marketing requirements into technical briefings for IT/developers – and vice versa. This prevents misunderstandings and costly mistakes.

    Tech Stack Competence: I have a deep understanding of how CRM, CMS, and tracking tools work, enough to identify sources of error myself and work on solutions directly with the technical team.

    Quality Assurance: I validate whether what agencies or tool providers deliver is technically sound and meets business requirements.

    3. Cross-Border Management (Japan/DACH)

    Global vs. Local: I adapt global corporate strategies to function effectively in the local market (Germany or Japan).

    Intercultural Coordination: I navigate confidently between different business cultures and ensure that headquarters and local teams are aligned.
