Whether blogs, Facebook or Xing: as a marketing specialist and automotive blogger, I assist companies in the automotive sector with all of their questions related to social media. As a business engineer with a focus on automotive business and automotive technology, I decided to set my professional sights on the automotive industry at an early stage. I’ve been dealing with blogs and social media communication since 2006. I started my own blog back then as well – on the topic of cars, of course. Shortly after that, I completed my dissertation at Adam Opel AG, which I dedicated to marketing communication via social media channels. I went freelance in 2013 after spending five years working at “Auto Bild”. Since then, I’ve been assisting and advising vehicle manufacturers and suppliers with all concerns related to blogs and social media.May
