Currently I'm working as an interactive strategist at MediaMonks.

My main challenge is to create a successful and thought-out digital strategy plan (plan of attack) for online projects (campaigns, websites, etc.) which leads to happy clients and achieved objectives. After that I try to come up with the important digital and inspirational boundaries during a creative briefing.
