      Nov 2006 - Jul 2007
      Founder

      At the age of 18, I founded my own promotion and event management agency. The company acted as a full-service marketing agency with a focus on direct and personal marketing. With 30 employees on a mini job basis, we offered services such as advertisements, road shows, raffles, and acquisition of new customers for our clients. We installed a self developed lead tracking system to raise sales potentials. Because I was drafted to the mandatory military service in Germany, the company had to be given up. Show less
