About Marco

You are permanently in a kind of fire brigade mode as the PR and communications department: reacting instead of acting. Supporting instead of actively shaping reputation?

Sales, marketing, and management recognize the value of your department but you are not at the strategic decision-making table?

Hi, I'm Marco, and I develop communication strategies that get SMEs, start-ups, and scale-ups out of reaction mode – towards relevance, impact, and strategic visibility.
