• About ME

    I set up and utilise Employer Brand and communication strategies to drive hiring, culture and retention. I take it from roadmapping to execution. From planning to posting. From intake to hire.

    I market USPs/EVP to target audiences with any means available. DIY or outsourced, trashy or polished.
    What counts is the story within the package. Know who you are and deliver it right.

    Nothing will push your people- and business success more effectively and efficiently than the leverage and power of a proper brand.

    If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a big mistake.

    Global Employer Brand Lead at Uberall

    August 2019 - to date

    As part of Uberall's international and overarching brand efforts, I work on creating Candidate- & Employee experience programs. We want people to be engaged and heard, so they bring their best selves to work everyday and give their full attention to doing the work to the best of their ability.

    An integrated employer brand is key for those efforts. Our VP Brand and I build on my previous work of setting up an Employer Brand. We are now further scaling efforts and are increasing reach and impact to level up Brand Awareness, Talent Acquisition, Employee Engagement and Employee Retention.

    Strong focus on:

    • Brand Authority through thought leadership
    • Brand-Culture Fusion
    • Brand Development (Messaging strategy & EVP comms, Positioning & Purpose, Competitor Analysis, SWOT & RTB)
    • Brand Expression (Personality, Voice & Tone - going out there as someone remarkable)
    • Leveling up Social Media efforts
