Marketing Connect: Growth

Hey there, I’m Abi. A marketing enthusiast that likes to dabble in a little bit of everything. Over the last 5 years I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some remarkable brands and incredible colleagues. So far I've worn many hats, from crafting compelling brand stories to driving strategic initiatives. It’s been an exciting ride through diverse industries, from tech startups to media companies and non-profits. One principle I hold dear is that marketing shouldn't be a mysterious art reserved for a select few; it's a dynamic field that everyone can embrace and excel in. I'm on the lookout for a mentee who shares a passion for marketing and the drive to make a real impact. Whether you're just starting out and eager to build a successful career or facing challenges in your current role, I'm here to be your sparring partner and support you on your journey.

34 year old revenue-driven growth leader from Copenhagen Denmark. Passionate about all things marketing, growth & leadership. Slightly addicted to pancakes and delivering incredible results. I bring 13+ years of experience in leadership, employee development, performance marketing & growth. I also have a a proven track record of staggering results in both B2B & B2C companies. A firm believer, in focusing on peoples strengths & passions for better results, and work engagement. My experience is relevant for people from a marketing / growth background, that want to focus on the bigger picture in business understanding, scaling growth and how to get there. Especially for people who want to become managers themselves or take their leadership skills further. I love working with mentees who are hungry for professional & personal growth and have an open mindset.

I am a passionate storyteller and strategist of B2B and B2C brands (although, I believe even in business, we are all still just people). For the past 9 years I’ve worked in agencies, creating the necessary strategic foundations for global brands like Microsoft, Google, GE, Coach, Meta (Facebook), Carlsberg, and Demant to communicate with their internal and external audiences in a way that resonates. My view is that strategy is not just for execs or upper management, it is for everyone and should always aim to be simple and accessible, so people can truly “get it under the skin” and live it every day. I would like to work with a mentee who is ambitious, yet curious about the world around them. I am open to being a sounding board for topics like how to build an International career, current work challenges, or future career aspirations. I also am open to people who are currently pondering or actively in the job search as I believe sometimes it’s extremely helpful to get an outside perspective on things like resumes, CVs, and general approach on how to make yourself stand out!

Hey there 👋I've recently founded the company, SparkForce, a B2B marketing agency, and have now grown it from nothing to 8+ employees within less than a year. Before doing so I've worked in multiple SaaS unicorns over time (Trustpilot, Templafy, United Fintech), talked at more than 50+ events and numerous podcasts, and advised more than 50+ start-ups on everything related to marketing and go-to-market. While I love tools, growth-hacks, and everything in-between - then I truly believe you need to combine everything under a strategic banner. Lastly: I believe in people. The people are what makes things work, not the other way around. That's how I roll.

I've got a passion for all things tech, and the stuff that truly resonates with me is the whole digital universe. Although I started my career in IT, only to discover my heart belonged in the world of marketing. It's been quite a ride, working with B2B SaaS startups and scale-ups for over 14 years. I've seen firsthand the magic of marketing - getting the right message to the right people, at just the right moment, through the perfect channel. Now, here's the exciting part: I'd love to team up with a mentee, someone fresh out of school or new to the Danish job market. If you're bursting with ideas and energy, and if startups, demand generation, digital marketing, and Martech light a fire in you, let's connect! I'm really looking forward to getting to know you.

Born and bred in central Jylland in Denmark, I can’t escape the fact that I’m as smalltown as they come. Moved to CPH and started my careeer in the agency world and have now found my shelf within SAAS. Stuck in the 90s, proud nerd, and true believer of procaffinating. I have many years of experience in marketing strategy and marketing operations - that’s where my inner nerd comes out, so if you’re looking to get your marketing organisation sorted and set up I definitely have some advice and knowledge on that. Looking forward to meeting you 🙂

I’ve spent 15 years in the B2B marketing space, working to create meaningful connections between people, services and brands. In my career, I’ve been lucky to work for some of the greatest marketing minds in our industry, and they have all generously shared their knowledge and provided invaluable guidance. So, to pass on what I’ve picked up along the way, I’m looking for you as a mentee if you work (or want to work) in B2B marketing, but you don’t have the luxury of having people around you with the relevant skills and mindsets to help you grow your competencies and career.

Hailing from Australia, I currently hold the position of Managing Director at a B-Corp certified creative agency, where our core mission is to champion sustainability and drive brands to become a force for good. With over 10+ years of experience in creativity, marketing, and innovation, I've cultivated expertise on both the agency and company fronts. I've worked with companies ranging from multinationals to local startups, all with a shared goal of unlocking business potential through sustainable practices and creative problem-solving. My passion is deeply rooted in working alongside people and brands, guiding them to not only achieve their business objectives but also make a lasting positive impact on our world. As a mentor, I'm dedicated to fostering a creative approach to address business challenges, especially in the realms of digital strategy, communications, and platform development. If you're part of an organization—be it a startup or a global enterprise—and share our vision of creating a sustainable future, I'd be thrilled to connect.

My experience covers over 10 years of working both agency-side and brand-side in the UK and Nordics within social media, marketing and communications. Some of the global brands I worked with are IKEA, L'Oreal, Carlsberg, Saxo Bank, Tesco and Danske Bank. As a Campaign project manager at IKEA, I lead the development of global, purpose-driven campaigns across IKEA; bringing them closer to customers, and inspiring the public to drive long-term, sustainable change. I have a deep understanding and experience of developing multi-channel global campaigns, managing complex projects and developing initiatives that create positive societal impact and brand affinity. I am therefore looking for a mentee who would like to marry purpose and impact and wants to learn more about developing global campaigns that drive change.

I'm a published author, public speaker and co-host of the Marketing Corner podcast whose career has been built on growing brands through strategic digital marketing. I have over 10 years of marketing experience in the USA, UK, Switzerland and Denmark and have worked with hypergrowth SaaS companies such as Planday and Dixa. I am currently the Vice President of Growth at Onomondo, where I manage a Growth team focussed on implementing growth marketing by combining the buyer and customer journeys. I'd love to work with a mentee who wants to learn digital marketing strategy, particularly lead generation or growth tactics. I'd especially like to team up with someone who is considering a career change into marketing - as this is what I did, so it's very close to my ❤️.

I am an energetic AmeriDane with the pleasure of having built all-star marketing teams for the last 15 years, mostly in B2B SaaS across MarTech and RegTech. The majority of my experience has been in the startup and scale-up world through various funding stages, including bootstrapped and VC/PE backed. I have been through two raises, one merger, two exits, and even one bankruptcy. I guess you could say there is never a dull moment in B2B SaaS! My come-up in marketing was digital, but over the years, I've built muscle in brand, communication, and strategic positioning. I've worn many hats under my marketing titles, including sales, product enablement, and corporate development, giving me what I feel is more of a 360-degree understanding of a business to better drive growth most effectively. You name the GTM motion; I've worked with it - Product-led, Sales-Led, and Channel-led. My passion and likely sweet spot for mentoring include how to think like an exec to grow revenue, not just leads, creating sales and marketing alignment, and how to build powerful marketing organizations that excel in driving international growth, especially in the US. If that speaks to you, I look forward to connecting!

I am a Stanford educated executive with 20 years of experience from global commercial roles. I have been heading multinational teams within Marketing management, Business development, Product management and Service Innovation. Currently leading one of the world's strongest brands within the building industry. I am motivated by challenges to identify, develop and grow new commercial opportunities. I would be happy to share experiences and offer sparring to a mentee with a broad perspective on their own development, innovation within marketing or industry and thoughts on societal and sustainability challenges we all need to address.

I have been in Business to Business Software (SaaS) business for over 10 years. Currently working at a startup where sales and marketing run the same marathon supporting each other. I’m a sales person by heart and experience, though a very close collaboration with marketing the last 3 years have moved me very close to marketing. I have built a personal brand on Linkedin followed by over 23K people (it’s a lot on Linkedin :D) Let’s match up if you are interested in B2B SaaS marketing. We’ll be meeting at our Dreamdata office which smells marketing all over it. We can discuss the importance of personal brand on the market plus matching it up with your marketing skills = perfect match.

Hi, I’m Lauren – and I specialize in B2G marketing and communications. I have a background in journalism, political communications and most of my career I’ve worked in PR agencies, setting up integrated communications strategies that intersects between public affairs and marketing. At Ørsted I’m heading the Europe Marketing and Bid Solutions team, driving integrated marketing strategies to support our commercial objectives. I’m a generalist by nature and love connecting the dots. I’m looking for a mentee with an interest in politics, sustainability and marketing and I hope I can learn from you as much as you can learn from me.

During the course of the last 15 years, I have worked within Marketing, Public Affairs, Communication and Commercial functions in the B2B sector and in various leadership positions. Of those 15 years, ten have been spent in the Renewable Energy sector to enable the energy transition the world needs to fight climate change. Throughout my various roles, I have worked more specifically with digital marketing, digital development and implementation, go-to market strategy, marketing campaigns, event management, customer hospitality, brand management including employer branding as well as customer insights and loyalty surveys. Additionally, I have worked with both internal and external communication, market development and sales across various markets globally. For the last 4 years, I have used a few hours every months to mentor talents both internally in the company I work in, but also externally. From marketing professionals to start-up founders, I have mentored people across markets and disciplines offering support and sparring as needed. Why? Because I love people and I love to help others thrive in their professional life. I have had mentors myself as I have moved forward in my career and I love to give back to others to help others succeed. Lately, in addition to startup and marketing mentoring, I have been mentoring other people managers helping new leaders transition into leadership role and learn how to lead others.

Looking for a self-proclaimed marketing expert? Well, you've come to the wrong place. I'm 12 years into my marketing career and still trying to figure things out. Let's do so together! I'm Luke. I'm the Chief Marketing Officer of Norrsken VC, Europe's leading early stage impact investor. We back founders that aim to solve the biggest problems of our time while building massive businesses. Before that, I was the Senior Director of Brand & Comms at the shiny fintech unicorn Pleo. Before that, the same role at Airtame. Before that, the Global Content Director at Momondo. And before that.. I was a struggling film critic. The red line running through it all is hard graft, gumption and inspiring colleagues to collaborate with. I'm looking for a mentee(s) from a diverse background that believes in the value of storytelling, wiping out the machismo and egos you'll commonly find in startups, and is passionate about delivering exceptional marketing for companies that matter.

I’ve worked and helped shape the digital agency landscape in Denmark for more than 20 years. Today, I sit in our Senior Leadership Team as General Manager & Partner Manager at AKQA - one of the world's most award-winning and recognised digital design agencies. We get to work with global iconic brands, established start-ups, and big and small businesses across technology, design, branding, and strategy. I'm also Jury Group Member for the Danish Digital Awards and have been so since its inception 10 years ago. Having access to so much great work from hundreds of companies in Denmark is in itself a great inspiration and a way to stay up-to-date. My job is to build relationships with our many clients and deliver projects at scale while continuously examining the value hidden at the intersection of design, business, and technology. I always try to bring more energy than I take - into every meeting. I know what it takes to succeed and fail with projects and, most importantly, with people. So, if you want to sharpen your own digital profile and receive input on your future career path, I promise to give you honest feedback, useful perspectives, and, most importantly, help you become more conscience of your emotional composure and how to become an even better You.

E-commerce, Internationalization and Digital Marketing towards B2C - That’s me. My name is Malthe Andreas Bredgaard and today I am the CMO at the fashion marketplace Miinto serving customers the best in fashion across 14 markets. In short I grow online B2C businesses and that is what I have been doing for the last more than 10 years. A mentee that I believe I can help is someone pragmatic and data-driven seeking to grow their own skills and use that to grow businesses online. Someone as eager to deliver measurable results as myself.

With more than 14 years of B2B marketing experience in diverse roles from marketing operations, and demand generation to partner and product marketing in both corporate and startup organizations, I am even more passionate about marketing today than before - its creative, human-centric, and technology side. As a mentee, you will have access to my unique skill set and toolbox that can help you further develop your marketing skills and guide your career. Over the last 7 years, I have been part of Toastmasters International where I have excelled in my public speaking and presentation skills. Join me for this 3rd season of the Mentoring Program to learn how to craft better effective marketing campaigns by improving product positioning & messaging. I’d love to empower young female marketers, who want to showcase their skills & knowledge in a male-dominated work environment. Furthermore, I would like to be a sparring partner for any daily challenge, campaign brainstorming, and create a safe space with you, the mentee, to share and grow not only your marketing expertise but also your soft skills.

I’ve been leading world-class brands for more than 12 years, globally and regionally, across FMCG and Retail and experienced in growing existing brands/collections as well as relaunches and new launches.

Hi, I am Pablo, and my experience covers more than 13 years in multinational life science companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Novo Nordisk, Novartis, and Roche. I have been lucky to have lived and worked across different countries such as Denmark, Australia, and Chile. I am passionate about working with high-performing international teams that focus on bringing life-changing innovation to patients and society, while growing and having fun at the same time. My experience has been leading teams and projects in different global, regional, and local geographies. In areas such as digital strategy, product launch, and market development. I am currently working from Copenhagen for the Region EMEA Strategy Organization of Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), specifically in the Digital Innovation and Operational excellence team. I would like to work with a mentee interested in building an international career and network, helping to navigate the complexities and challenges of organizations, discuss career paths, stakeholder management, management skills, and work-life balance. Let's connect!

I started my career in digital and touched many facets of marketing over the past 10 years. I have spent significant time both in B2B and at not-for-profit organizations where I used my experience in technology and marketing to create and execute on strategic marketing initiatives. It would be great to work with a mentee that is interested in exploring digital marketing. If you are interested in blending technology and marketing together to make creative and effective solutions for modern marketing problems, I would love to explore that together.

I have spent over 15 years across different areas of Marketing in both B2B and B2C global companies large and small, and I am still a learner! In the past few years, my focus on product marketing has enabled me to lead and drive this area successfully in early-stage startups and scale-ups in Denmark. Building narratives, uncovering product positioning and defining categories are a few of my superpowers. With numerous product launches under my belt, I am looking forward to helping budding product and content marketers build expertise and grow in their respective fields.

I’m collaborating with people, building strategic reasoning and unlocking human insights that can make a difference when conveying stories that really matter. The last 10 years, I’ve been fortunate to experience life at various types of agencies in different roles - with quite different responsibilities. (Today) this experience is a fundamental part of my capabilities when advising international and national clients. It’s a journey that has taken me from London to Aarhus to Copenhagen to Milan and back to Copenhagen again. Hopefully the adventure continues to unfold itself always surrounded with good people. I’ve always discussed my own career and other worldly topics with mentors – and I know the value of doing exactly that! I’m a curious mind myself, so I believe this mentorship program can be of value to both of us. Let’s connect.

I'm Sabari, and I'm excited to connect with you as a potential mentor. I'm the Business Unit Director for Grain and Feed at FOSS, and I've been lucky to have a fun and rewarding career so far. I'm passionate about helping others succeed, and I believe that everyone has something to offer. As a mentor, I'm committed to providing you with a safe and supportive space to explore your goals, challenges, and ideas. I'll also be there to offer advice, guidance, and support along the way. I see the mentor-mentee relationship as a two-way street, so I'm not too particular about the kind of mentee I'd like to work with. I'm confident that we can learn from each other, regardless of our stage in life or our background. Some of my pet peeves are working across cultures, B2B marketing, and cross-functional leadership to drive innovation. If these topics are of interest to you, I'd be happy to spar on them. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better and learning more about your goals.

Hi, I’m Sarah. I started my professional life when the internet was the thing and haven’t left it since. I’m a growth marketer who creates dynamic marketing strategies rooted in customer-centricity, boldness, and creativity. The result has been tangible business growth, improved LTV/CAC (the notorious), and a lot of fun along the way. In the past 10+ years I’ve worked in start-ups (it’s all about finding product-market-fit), scale-ups (grow, grow, grow), and “grown-ups”(I’m a mature business that needs to sustain growth) across three continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe), I now serve as the Global Head of Local Marketing at Vivino. If you are a curious mind looking for a sparring partner to challenge marketing strategies, talk about entrepreneurship, international careers, or taking the next big career leap, then I would love to connect.

With over a decade of global marketing and branding expertise, I have dedicated half of my professional journey to agency-side roles in New York City and the other half to internal brand-side and agency positions in Copenhagen. Currently working as a Senior Consultant at NoA Connect, a division of the North Alliance, I am responsible for management of key accounts ranging from Philips to Novo Nordisk - ultimately helping brave teams deliver marketing strategies that drive tangible outcomes and measurable impact. I am enthusiastic about the prospect of mentoring an individual who seeks to gain insights into the intricate dynamics of account management and brand development from both client-side and agency-side perspectives. Additionally, I am keen on assisting someone interested in honing their personal branding strategies to enhance their competitiveness within the job market.

I'm a B2B marketer who believes in good people, clear numbers, and honest words. I love diving into data and tech to make growth a no-brainer. On top of that, I'm big on teamwork, keeping the lines of communication open, and leading in a way that makes everyone feel included. I'd enjoy sparring with a curious and driven mentee about current work challenges—technical challenges, strategy, communication and collaboration, or future plans and career progression.
