The Young Wolves are a bottom-up initiative of young, ambitious students from every part of the company getting together after hours to work on various projects. The goal of the Young Wolves is to bring in fresh ideas into the company and creating cross-department synergies. After joining this initiative, I quickly joined the core team, engaged with coordinating the different projects and seek out new projects. In addition, I have been engaged in two projects: in one I helped evaluate the internal communication of the company strategy, and helping in the follow-up by helping to work out the consecutive phase of the communication strategy. Afterwards, we set up a company-wide marketing campaign to increase awareness of the company values. In a second project I have helped develop and launch a company-wide inquiry on online communication channels to clients, resulting in an analysis of the DVV customer website.
