Maschlanka {Marketing}

What I do

With 40 years of professional experience in the consumer electronics industry, I am able to provide targeted advice to manufacturers, distributors, retailers and other companies of all kinds and to develop measures precisely tailored to the respective tasks.

The following overview shows the services I offer – from the completion of individual jobs to all-round support in all marketing matters:

Ongoing advice on all marketing and PR-related matters

How does a company present itself to the public, which communication channels are used in which form and quality, which target groups are already reached and where is there a need for improvement? My clients formulate their wishes, which I assess for possible realisation.

I communicate regularly with them about news within the industry, in the press, in the world of marketing, among competitors and within the trade. This lively exchange of ideas helps identify the most effective measures to be implemented.

Support in PR and press relations

I make use of a hand-picked, regularly updated distribution list containing numerous journalists who I know personally, which is then tailored to the specific press release which is to be distributed. I don’t believe in mass mailings to thousands of recipients, which is the universal solution advocated by some agencies.

I only send press releases to editors with a specific interest in the topic who appreciate having a reliable contact with my client.

Informed yet easily understandable texts

In the glossy brochures and press releases produced by high-tech companies you still find texts in which you can tell at a glance that the author has no real knowledge of the subject matter, and either seeks refuge in bland ad-speak or presents the technical background using technical jargon which has not been modified because it has not been understood. As a trained journalist specialising in consumer electronics, one of my specialities is explaining technical facts in a readily understandable way.

I am able to discuss the key aspects of a technology with engineers before writing about it and formulating texts which can be used in versatile ways – as a press release, in catalogues, in information material for dealers, on websites, in operating instructions etc.

Evaluation, optimisation and conception of websites and online shops

I have been actively involved in the internet for the last 25 years. In 1997 I was responsible for the conception, programming and maintenance of the online presence of two of my clients: Lautsprecher Teufel and Kenwood. Shortly thereafter came an online shop for Teufel, which I supervised and continually developed until 2003. From 2005 to 2010 I was responsible for the professionalisation and internationalisation of Teufel’s online portal.

What I did and learned during this long period still benefits my clients today. I enjoy analysing websites and online shops, and making suggestions for their improvement, as well as conceiving complete sites and shops. In doing so, I am supported by competent partners specialised in design, programming, photography and finding solutions to every challenge.

Advice on the implementation of marketing and advertising measures

When you have a comparably small marketing budget, how you place products or brands on important online platforms and in specialist magazines within the consumer electronics industry, as well as in affiliate networks or search engines, is no mystery but the result of sophisticated measures.

I enjoy conceiving these measures and realising them with the assistance of my experienced network, who are always up to date with the latest online strategies.

Conception and management of social media activities

Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, Linkedin and Xing have long since become established as communication, marketing and advertising platforms in daily use. Well-conceived activities on these social media channels can often be a useful means of promoting a client’s brand and/or products in the right place in a specifically targeted way.

Whether a corporate presence managed in-house or a sophisticated overall social media strategy. I am happy to coordinate conception and realisation together with highly-specialised experts from my network.

Organisation of events

Be it a press conference in connection with a trade fair, an informal press meeting intended to cultivate personal contacts or a party to celebrate a major company anniversary, I’m happy to take on the organisation of events.

With the reliable support of appropriate partner firms, I offer an all-inclusive package including: conception of the event, search for suitable locations, caterers, simultaneous interpreters, furniture hire firms, lighting and sound engineers, live musicians or other entertainment, design and sending out of invitations, organising and assisting with the event itself including transportation, purchasing personal gifts and photo or film documentation.
