This sums me up in a single sentence: I’m the down-to-earth, empathetic lady with the dog—who’s doing a part-time trial internship with us. When I’m not rushing from one appointment to the next—which, unfortunately, happens quite often—I’m always ready to listen—no matter who it is, no matter what it’s about, and no matter whether it’s during or after work 😊
My superpower at work: Even during really stressful times, I stay calm and can always come up with something funny or a witty (sometimes silly, but usually sarcastic) remark for any work situation.
What I enjoy working on most: Project management and oversight of our own clients and projects; working with Steffi and Marie to keep the PM team on track.
What I love about this job: Because here, you’re not just “someone from the PM/Design/Social/etc.” team. If you’re willing to put in the effort, your ideas will be heard, your work will be recognized, and your impact on the agency will be made clear.
Fun Fact: Having grown up in the late ’80s and ’90s, I’m so glad that the “real fun facts” are still lying around at home as analog, printed photos—including the negatives—(or have already been turned into photo albums!).
Favourite tool / Favourite hack: Apple + Z | Apple + Beautiful: I haven't found it yet, but I'd love to get my hands on it! | Walks: listen to music at most; otherwise, clear my head and just enjoy being outside.
A funny, (slightly) embarrassing anecdote from everyday working life: On-site client meeting. My contact “feels great” and says, “If it weren’t for him, this deal wouldn’t be happening.” His boss, after the meeting, outside the door with a cigarette: “Dani, don’t take him too seriously. The guy thinks he’s the King of Bavaria.” -> The client is standing right behind his boss. Oops!
A mistake you can laugh about today – and what you learnt from it: 15,000 Oktoberfest T-shirts. The shipment arrived at the agency. Everyone had approved it (the boss, the copywriter, both art directors), but in the end, it said: “Drindl.” Ever since then, even if it’s just one word, I’ve known that proofreading can be worthwhile—even for “Dirndl.”
A quick tip for new colleagues: Just do it. Mistakes happen. As a team, we’ll figure it out together. And other than that, ask, ask, ask.
