Mads Kristensen (+45 2628 1976)’s Summary
I help companies structure, adapt and develop their business to get the most benefit from the opportunities in new media being it internal or external facing. Or both.
I work with digital business strategy and concept development, and I help carve out how using new media tools can save both time, energy and money - perhaps even become a profit center in itself - while at the same time providing meaningful presence and fostering conversation and sharing.
My background stems from having worked almost 10 years at leading international and national companies doing digital business development right at the heart of it all, where content meets business which again meets people. I have a great wealth of experience and know-how, which I'm eager to share.
