Julian Herrmann

Julian Herrmann betreut seit 2015 das Thema Marketing-Lokalisierung bei der Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA. Dabei geht es insbesondere um Agentursteuerung und -entwicklung und die stetige Evolution von Massenprozessen in der in- und externen Zusammenarbeit, um jährlich tausende Kommunikationsmaterialien in bester Qualität, kürzester Zeit und mit begrenzten Budgets zur Verfügung stellen zu können (das übliche Dilemma-Dreieck). Der Diplomkaufmann kann dabei auf reichlich Erfahrung aus unterschiedlichen Stationen im Marketing und aus unterschiedlichen Branchen bauen. Neben Themen mit operativem Fokus, wie die Dienstleistersteuerung und Marketing als Service, steht für ihn aber vor allem gute und zielgerichtete Sprache im Mittelpunkt: Was sucht ein Interessent? Was will ein Kunde? Wie artikuliert der Kunde das und wie formuliert ein Unternehmen passgenau Kommunikation, die wirkt? Insbesondere mit Blick ins Web, aber auch in ganz klassischen Kanälen.
