Angelika is a highly experienced Marketeer, true Brand Generalist and a great human being to work with. During our time at DORMA and later dormakaba we connected on a professional as well as on a personal level. We loved having intense but fruitful discussions and also shared a common sense of humor. Overall we had a great time. Our chemistry was one of the reasons we loved going to work. If you need a strong but empathetic business woman to head a department and/or to lead a team, Angelika is who you are looking for. Due to her high cultural sensitivity and experience she is optimally prepared to work in diverse teams. She truly loves to engage with colleagues and customers with different backgrounds.

I have known Angelika as a good Brand Ambassador , for more than a decade . She stands out for the following reasons:

1. Passion – She lives to the beliefs of the brand she stands stand for , and work diligently to foster strong relationships with both the internal and external customers .
2. Challenges status quo – Change is permanent , and people who manage change , the first step is to challenge status quo, and brain storm ‘ why nots’ and ‘what ifs’ till you come to the most optimum ideas and solutions to roll a brand to the market . Having being in the dorma and later the dormakaba team to roll out the brand globally , it was fun ( and stressing times too !) to go through those transition times . being a part of the global team, she was always approachable, where we could bounce off our ideas, agree to disagree and move forward together.
3. Know your customer – Sounds like a cliché, but she would walk the talk, by meeting customers, understanding their needs, getting feedback, and ensuring that loyalty is assured with every interaction and the follow-ups. Whether its walking down the dusty lanes of Dubai to meet the final stakeholders in a sale, or networking with global giants who are our customers, she was everywhere to push the brand and seek to learn how we can, along with our partners leverage our brand to satisfy our customers .
4. Multitasking – Linking your mission , vision and goals with every branding message, conceptualize and roll out campaigns, brainstorming ideas, diving down to details like packaging, etc – She has her hands full with all these , to ensure that design to delivery is smooth .

In meiner Eigenschaft als Management Supervisor der Werbeagentur GRAMM (Grey network) habe ich fast zehn Jahre mit Angelika Wesselkamp, damals Werbeleiterin von DORMA, eng und freundschaftlich zusammengearbeitet. Die intensive Kundenbeziehung war von hohem Engagement, gegenseitigem Respekt, Vertrauen und Fairness geprägt. Beim gemeinsamen Ringen um die beste Lösung haben wir - das Agenturteam - Angelika stets als streitbare, argumentationsstarke und fachlich versierte Diskussionspartnerin erlebt. Sie agierte stets mit offenem Visier: hart in der Sache (bspw. Kosten), klar, couragiert und zielorientiert. Aber vor allem: wir hatten sehr viel Spaß dabei!

Ich hatte das Vergnügen, während meiner Zeit bei KFV mit Angelika, damals Leiterin der Marketingabteilung, zusammenzuarbeiten. In meiner Rolle als Leiter Export für BENELUX hat sie mich erfolgreich mit Marketingkampagnen unterstützt. Ihre Fähigkeit, überzeugend zu kommunizieren war sehr wertvoll, um die Sympathie unserer Zielgruppen, ob Kunden, Presse oder Vertriebskollegen, zu gewinnen.

While working with Angelika on the re-branding of two leading BtoB brands during their merger, I got to know how pleasant and inspired a collaboration can remain even when pressure is high and timings are tight. Angelika never looses sight of set goals and keeps her positive and communicative style while striving to deliver high quality results. I think it is seldom to meet a manager like Angelika; equipped with loads of experience and competence around international Brand Strategy and Brand Management. Hence, I am happy that Granpasso Digital Strategy won Angelika to become a member of the Advisory Board, so that the company can profit from her decade-long experience and knowledge.

Angelika is a highly experienced Marketing generalist, with an excellent understanding of Corporate Branding, International Marketing and a great mind to work with. In my role as Digital Marketing Manager at LEMKEN, I had the pleasure of working together with her. Sharing a similar passion for the creation of branded interactions that have a lasting impact on the customer as well as having a common sense of humor, we quickly connected on both, a professional as well as personal level. During several projects, such as the strategic restructuring and internationalization of the Corporate Website and Social Media channels, I could benefit from Angelika’s experience in International Marketing and Branding. Specifically, I am very thankful for her strategic guidance. While being my superior, I perceived Angelika as a solution-oriented person who always met me at eye level.
