Pointseven

CEO

Everything we do as brand owners and marketers has to drive towards one single goal – to be top of mind in exactly the right time and place.To be top of mind at that exact right place and moment takes a lot of hard work. Usually involving many competencies, strategies and even agencies.Oftentimes, this leads to the core purpose being diluted in translation between different strategies, KPIs and outtakes. It proves difficult to align different agencies and stakeholders to the same goal. Resulting in a hard to measure effect due to different sets of data, insights and auto-induced benchmarks.The system is broken and that is where Pointseven comes in. We don’t believe in working in silos, but in holistic strategies and synchronised tactics. We join forces with our clients, inject fitting technology and shape embedded teams where we unite the cultures of creativity and data for the best possible outcome.

The role.
