I am responsible for the communication, marketing, social media and brand strategy of telecom provider Mobile Vikings Belgium. Member of the management team. - From June 2012 until June 2014 we doubled our Viking user base in a very competitive market through a well defined acquisition and referral strategy. Moreover, ARPU remained stable during that period.- Both top of mind awareness and overall awareness doubled in one year thanks to an awareness strategy we started beginning of 2014.- Churn remains at a very low level despite the growth of our user base by applying a clear retention strategy all the way through our marketing and communications approach.- Apart from weekly team meetings and a team building once per semester, I have ad hoc and two-weekly meetings with each individual team member. I also work with each team member on a personal growth plan.- Restyling and restructuring of the Mobile Vikings, Viking Talk and VikingCo website and touch points, including introduction of a restyled logo beginning of 2015. Still choosing the rebellious feel, but more in sync with the company's future vision.- Lead of cross-departmental project teams introducing innovative partnerships with ao Zalando and Deezer.
