This ad-hoc approach means your marketing isn’t quite hitting the mark—you’re leaking leads, energy and revenue.
You might find yourself piecing together your marketing in a last-minute rush, squeezing in actions when inspiration strikes (resulting in a lot of unfinished projects), or asking your admin or receptionist to post something quickly.
Your vision deserves consistent, results-driven marketing that scales your business sustainably, with less stress and more ease.
Let’s build a marketing strategy that doesn’t just ‘get it done’ but drives sustainable business growth. Whether you need strategic guidance, implementation, or both—I’ll set up and professionalise your marketing department sustainably and ethically.
Let’s work together to build a sustainable, scalable marketing strategy that fits your vision and goals and can grow with your business.
In 90 minutes, we identify where you leak leads, energy, and time and how to fix it.
Together, we determine which steps to take to close 10% of the gaps that cause 90% of your frustration.
After all, there’s no point in bringing in more leads if you’re leaking leads left and right.
A full day to work ‘on’ your business with a marketing strategist by your side.
We’ll turn ideas and overwhelm into clear actions and tangible results.
Sometimes, all you need is a fresh perspective and accountability to gain clarity, determine your next steps and jumpstart momentum.
Examples of what we can work on are: refining your messaging, aligning your marketing with your goals or personalising and automating your marketing.
Let me take all marketing off your plate as your external marketing manager.
I’ll set up or professionalise your marketing operations, working remotely and regularly at your location.
So you can focus on your core business with the peace of mind that your marketing is in expert hands.
Book a complimentary 30-minute call we’ll determine your best next steps. I’ll share my honest advice on whether I’m the best person to help you or will happily refer you to one of the experts in my network.
I help vision-driven founders elevate their marketing strategies without adding more to their workload.
Think of me as your external strategic partner who understands how your vision can be brought to life in a non-icky, ethical way. My clients call me a strategic thinker with a creative flair who gets it done. When you work with me, I help you align your marketing to your vision, goals, and clients without adding more to your to-do list—and not without success!
For example, my client ZAPFLER Craft Brewery in Shanghai won the prestigious “Best Craft Beer Brewery” award multiple times thanks to my marketing strategy. A Dutch client was fully booked before their location opened, and an Australian client said, “We now have a solid stream of inquiries coming in!”
I had been searching for the right next step, and I was approached by social media experts and business coaches who wanted to teach me how to completely reorganize my business. Nothing felt right.
Until Ilona gave me the feeling, with a few simple tips, that I would find what I was looking for with her: someone who sees the big picture clearly, who manages from a helicopter view from the sidelines, who advises on a project basis, and who knows everything about marketing both analytically and practically.
The result of working with Ilona was everything I hoped for.
I warmly recommend Ilona as a marketing and business strategist who advises, thinks with you and is knowledgable on all things business growth. In no time, she will have a clear idea of how you work, how your company is structured and how those two factors lead to YOUR desired result.
The way you were able to pinpoint such specific changes to language shifted everything in my sales pages.
You were so kind and calm, it was really helpful when you were explaining the steps of the customer journey, and I felt like I had so many lightbulb moments! Honestly can’t thank you enough!
Without a doubt, Ilona is the one you want on the team. She is enthusiastic, connects the dots and crosses the i's and has a huge network from which she always knows how to get just the answers you need.
During my maternity leave, she was the only person I entrusted with my work and I was then able to convince the board that she should stay longer. Ilona is full of good ideas to help an organization flourish, reach the target group and inspire colleagues.
Ilona's unique view on organizing companies and creativity make her a great Marketing and Business Strategist.
She formulated our marketing strategy to improve our brand awareness and helped us win the Best Craft Beer Bar of the Year Award 2017 in the That's Shanghai F&B Industry Awards.
She's our go-to person for our strategic marketing projects like creating our website and investors presentation.

If you have any questions or just want to get in touch, use the form below. I look forward to hearing from you!
As your external marketing manager, I’ll be your dedicated marketing manager for 1 day per week. This could be a great marketing solution for you if you want your marketing done professionally without training or hiring an in-house team or outsourcing to a marketing agency.
The honest answer to this question is: It depends. It depends on your goals, what marketing you’re doing now and with which results. I would like to invite you to a free 30-minute consultation so I can help you get clarity if an external marketing manager, marketing agency or hiring a marketing employee is your best choice. You can book a call here.
Great question! We’ll start by clarifying your current situation and goals. Then, I’ll analyse your current marketing activities and their results.
With that in mind, I’ll create a tailor-made strategy for your business. Depending on how we work together, I can take care of the implementation, help your team implement it, or find the right people to do the implementation for you.
To discuss whether this marketing solution is the right fit for you, I would like to invite you to a free discoveryy call. I’ll give you my honest opinion on the best way for you to move forward. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll happily refer you to other experts in my network.
How long we work together depends on the marketing solution you choose. The 360° Business Audit, Marketing Action Plan and Strategy Immersion days are one-off marketing solutions. When I’m working as your external marketing manager you can choose between a 6- or 12-month package. Simply because implementing a strategy and seeing the results take time and the results get better and better after continuous optimalisation.
