„The successful development of our core business and the planned strategic expansion of our activities into new markets and market segments require a clear focus. Katharina Doerk and I are both the management and the editors-in-chief of ddp images. By establishing the position of CvD, we are relieving our editorial workload and freeing up time in which we can drive new projects forward more quickly,“ Ulf Schmidt-Funke explains the background.
„It is a real stroke of luck that we were able to win Holger Stevens, a colleague from our own ranks, for this challenging task“, says Managing Director Katharina Doerk. „Thus, possible friction losses are avoided and he can immediately set accents, actively reevaluating the presentation of the agency’s offer rang. The good and successful interaction between customers, editorship team and authors is further intensified.
