Dr. Jeannet-Susann Kiessling
Communication is based on storytelling. If you want to convince people of your ideas, if you want to get them excited about your product, you have to tell a good story. As a speech writer, I have a longstanding relationship with storytelling. I know how powerful words can be if you choose them deliberately and purposefully.
My strength is to capture the essence of a concept and put it in simple and powerful words. If you have an exciting product or an innovative idea, I will help you communicate your message to impact your audience or customers. In today's world, getting the message out is as important is more important than ever.
My business partner Carsten Thomsen-Bendixen has the same passion for stories as I do. Together, we bring in many years of expertise, working for multi-national enterprises, startups, and politicians. We care about your business, and we will make sure your customers will too.
