Luxembourg Industrial, B2B
In between Systems, not just strategy
Australia Consumer, faster cycles
I started in industrial marketing in Luxembourg, on automotive and B2B campaigns where buying cycles run for months and nothing is decided on impulse. That is where the habit came from: decide what you are measuring before you spend anything.
Moving to Australia changed the pace rather than the method. Consumer brands, faster cycles, and clients who needed the execution built as well as the strategy written. That is the point where I started building systems instead of only advising on them.
Now I do both, and I keep the client list short enough that the person who builds your setup is the person who reads it back to you every month.
