Founder of BAMBERG Reputation · Strategic communications and PR consulting, Frankfurt am Main
At Nestlé Germany I was responsible for issues and crisis management, at FTI Consulting I guided clients through critical situations. Before that, twelve years as a journalist at Dow Jones, the FAZ group and the dpa group. I know where a newsroom will press, because I spent twelve years doing the pressing.

Die meisten Unternehmen wissen, dass Medienarbeit wichtig ist. Wenige wissen, wo genau sie stehen. Noch weniger stellen sich die richtigen Fragen, bevor sie Geld in PR investieren.
Wer eine PR-Agentur in Deutschland engagiert, zahlt in der Regel mindestens 10.000 Euro pro Monat. Oft mehr. Dafür gibt es ein Team, ein Büro, Strategiepräsentationen – und die Hoffnung, dass am Ende Platzierungen stehen.
Unternehmenskommunikation ist zu 80 Prozent Execution – und damit eben nicht Strategie. Das klingt banal. Aber es hat eine klare Konsequenz für die Frage, wie Medienarbeit organisiert werden sollte.
Ich stelle mir jedes Mal dasselbe Bild vor, wenn mir diese Frage gestellt wird: Mahagoni-Schreibtisch, halbvolles Whiskyglas, Zigarre. Ich drehe mein Rolodex und sage: „Klar, machen Sie sich keine Sorgen. Ich bin SO DICKE mit denen.“
