Client Feedback
I would work again and recommend her expertise to anyone who is looking for new approaches and new strategies in established business."
Katja is an all-around strategic and creatively thinking Marketing professional with a very international outlook and network reach.
She understood our requirements immediately and quickly developed the Strategic Positioning, Accessories & Packaging concept for our new state-of-the-art high-end earphone, a masterpiece in high-tech audio technology and design.
She specified the right high end niche markets and their requirements, for the €1,000+ product and succeeded in negotiating a 3-month exclusive with the Concept Store Colette in Paris, prior to the official launch. Katja also initially established contact and continued to help manage the luxury leather manufacturers and packaging suppliers throughout the project. She equally provided the directional ideas for the handcrafted lifestyle video to reinforce the product’s positioning.
Katja succeeded to push through the project in a timely manner and worked very well with my internal product team of AKG. Sales have been above sales forecasts and press reviews of the overall product have been excellent. I would work again with Katja and recommend her expertise to anyone who is looking for new approaches and new strategies in established business.

“Katja is a seasoned strategic marketing professional with a professional, with a creative, out-of-the-box approach and sharp eye for detail."
Katja's mission was to reposition and update the look of a hotel in Switzerland we had recently acquired. The challenge was to create a new atmosphere and to finish all the work needed within a limited budget prior to the Gstaad Ski Season, Opening. In less than three months she harmonized the look and feel of the common spaces of the hotel using a "retro-vintage" theme. Katja's philosophy is a fully integrated concept from design to management, so she also worked closely with the management team to define the new positioning, communication and services offered, to ensure the hotel's long-term success.
Katja is a seasoned strategic marketing professional, with a creative, out-of-the-box approach and a sharp eye for detail. She is constantly thinking about how to further improve the guest experience and satisfaction.
