Together we create brand experiences that feel right.

 

Hej & Welcome!

 

I am Melanie -

Senior Brand Activation & Project Management

for premium brands and international agencies

 

Project management, brand activation & promotional merchandising.

Across Europe. Thoughtful. Efficient. Human.

 

What I do.  

 

I support agencies and premium brands in executing complex brand and activation projects efficiently, strategically, and effectively – both nationally and across Europe.


I combine structured project management with the ability to coordinate brands across all touchpoints – from promotional items and POS experiences to digital channels.


My expertise links promotional marketing materials, POS experiences, and digital elements into a consistent, cross-channel brand activation.

 

Why me? Because...

I believe in the power of partnership-driven collaboration. 

It’s more than a process - it’s a mindset.

Through my familiarity with Scandinavian people, where collaboration, openness, and mutual trust are highly valued, I have learned how powerful true partnership can be.

 

“Hygge” originally stands for coziness, well-being, and harmony in everyday life, but the underlying values - trust, openness, collaborative spirit, and shared purpose – translate perfectly into the business world.

This is how I work: honestly, constructively, and on equal footing.

 

Because successful brand activation always happens where people work with each other, not against each other.

My unique combination

Promotional Items, POS & Digital

My profile is rare – and that’s what makes my added value.

I combine:

  • Brand activation through promotional items
  • POS experience & shopper marketing
  • E-mail marketing & digital touchpoints

 

 

I take care of orchestration

Brand activation requires precise coordination. Creativity and ideas also need an experienced eye on sales targets, KPIs, and deadlines.

In project management, I coordinate ideas with timings, KPIs, CIs, suppliers, teams, and external partners, ensuring that plans become real, successful campaigns.

What others say about me

 

Working with Melanie in my former team was a real stroke of luck. She was a huge help, especially during a very hectic period when we were working together to support a new customer. With her cheerful nature, hands-on approach, and tactical instincts, she immediately took responsibility and kept track of everything. She works extremely carefully, thinks proactively, and always remains solution-oriented. Especially in direct communication with clients and colleagues, she impresses with her clarity, professionalism, and reliability. I would work with her again anytime!
