ABOUT
Whether it’s classic singular events, incentives, trade-fair appearances, press presentations, product presentations / training, or roadshows – in me you’ve found a partner with a maximum of expertise and passion for the entire package of necessary services: I can consult or manage, alone or as part of an interdisciplinary team.
EXPERIENCE
After several international experiences in airline catering and with crossair AG, the regional Swiss airline company, I moved on to Käfer Services GmbH, the event caterer in Munich. Following many successful events and Käfer’s move to Berlin, I decided in 2001 to become independent in the field of live communication.
As a freelance worker for agencies and also as general contractor with a large and reliable network, I support companies in their integrated communication and sponsoring; I also support SMEs and private individuals.
There’s only one thing I don’t do: weddings.
SERVICES
The range of services includes sustainable presentation of brands, messages and products. I essentially take an integrated approach, as all aspects are important to inform the big picture.
Advice and Consulting
Market analysis of events based on a neutral approach: the purpose defines the goal – not the other way around.
Optimization of conception with respect to the dramaturgical and logistical process.
Conception and Creation
Coaching of both the idea and the team. Detailed commercial calculation and budgeting, research, solicitation, scheduling, determination of time lines with milestones.
Support with set design, technical equipment, and individual entertainment and supporting programs.
Project management (planning phase)
Briefing, coordination and supervision of each and every trade in the overall context with respect to personalized production flow and a procedural plan that is ultimately exact to the minute.
Implementation
Project management and support for each event with transparent communication and confidence due the consistent coordination of planning.
Controlling and receivables management with continuous budget monitoring.
Follow-up
Accounting and reporting. Comprehensive documentation of the event in video/audio, reporting, statistics, cluster/feedback from guests.
Specific support
Of course, it is also possible to choose specific services in support of any measure. Creative advice for conception and creation, budget-sensible ideas during calculation, logistical advice for process planning, or flexible and solution-oriented support during the implementation.
Sustainability
Sustainability, often used in tandem with CSR seems to be on everyone’s lips these days – a hyped buzzword that is used as mere adornment in many cases. But what does sustainability really mean? Is it reduction, sacrifice, regression? Not at all. Sustainability actually implies added value for the company, the campaign, or the event.
How exactly does this work – from the idea up to the implementation, within the company itself as well as in the external image and communication? I look forward to debating this. And it will be a debate.
What else…
I also always appreciate any allies and supporters for the Ronald McDonald House Berlin-Wedding – either through practical help or in the form of donations.
TEAM / NETWORK
The partners I’ve selected over time solve any tasks within their respective fields in all aspects: comprehensive market know-how, a seamless network of expertise, and an increased factor for success.
Trim, fast structures that offer direct access to project management, ensuring an immediate approach, straightforward decisions, and the highest level of quality and service.
