Wiebe de Vries Speaks the Language of Marketing. Fluently.I have worked extensively across Europe in English, German, Dutch and French. I have led marketing functions. I have built (global) marketing teams. And I have planned and delivered on marketing strategies, from upstream concepts to downstream execution. Whatever the countries or sectors I’m working in, the common language is the same: results.As a seasoned and successful marketer, my greatest professional achievement has been to transform the marketing function: from an overhead to an underpinning of commercial growth, as a key revenue driver. As a senior B2B marketer, I know that revenue growth must be at the heart of successful brand strategy. That means producing marketing material that makes a difference – to sales force effectiveness, market profile and key target perceptions. My skills have been tested in the toughest environments, including technology and professional services, two industries where the function and value of marketing are under constant review.Measurable success means metrics. My professional performance metrics include hundreds of qualified leads generated, millions of euros in new revenues, derived from additional business in new markets, and hundreds of thousands saved in attrition and recruitment costs through internal communications that build employee engagement, satisfaction, productivity and loyalty.Strategic clarity is only part of the marketing success equation. Tactical campaign implementation means practical understanding and experience of a whole range of media, channels and techniques. Compliance NOT ComplaintsUnusually – still - for a professional marketer, I have a detailed and technically trained understanding of GDPR compliance from a business perspective. I am a CTTP certified and qualified Data Protection Officer. No marketing activity can safely be actioned now without total visibility of data issues, responsibilities and risks. Today, any senior marketer – and their organization – are vulnerable without this visibility. That’s why I took the training.
