“Our cooperation with Axel has started initially with the preparation of an annual report.
Axel filled a broad role in this project, from drafting objectives and content structure of the annual report, to planning milestones and operational implementation. He acted like a team member, thinking with us, acquainted himself with our topics and prepared content as base for discussion. His feedback also sharpened our messages.
Axel suggested concrete proceedings and with his diplomatic but persistent follow-up ensured a successful realization.
Together with an agency as service partner, Axel produced a compact and graphically attractive annual report, that has created a very positive response from our members.
I look forward to implementing further communication projects with Axel”
Ulrich Adam, Secretary General
“Axel joined the FP7 SSL-erate project team in the final year as leader of the communication & dissemination work package.
He quickly established a network among the 24 project participants.
Due to Axel’s talent in planning communication projects, involving relevant participants and really driving activities, I soon noticed the impact on the dissemination and outreach actions and material of the project, which became both more numerous and effective.
By thorough planning, collecting all needed information from the project partners and persistently following up lead contacts, he managed to get the project presented in webinars and newsletters of the target groups of the project.
Axel is a true marketing professional and is great in maneuvering a team of loosely connected people.”
