Head of Marketing & Communication ad interim
May 2014 – June 2015 [via Robert Half]

Leading Argenta’s marketing and internal communication teams, managing a group of 18 people.

The marketing team of Argenta is now set up as an in-house marketing agency, with ownership of the Argenta brand and corporate identity, and managing all external channels including social media.
The internal communications team takes ownership of internal ‘mobilisation’ and information flows, and facilitates other departments’ communication needs through its copywriting and translation services.

Key achievements of my work at Argenta:

• getting the Marketing & Communication organization back on the rails after a long period without manager:
  motivation > organization > strategic and commercial focus > succesful output and results
• successful launch of the mobile banking app
• getting buy-in from the Board for a major shift in marketing style, more assertive but still authentic
  (ie. “de Gezondste Bank” campaign)
• a fully integrated marketing plan for 2015 (new for Argenta) spanning brand image – commercial goals – product marketing alignment
• first steps towards the integration of Marketing in the ‘digital bank’ organization, Argenta’s ambition to become an omni-channel financial service provider
