Since the beginning of October, Lisa supports us as a trainee in the areas of social media, marketing and PR. Her main focus lies on the steel and automotive industry. As a native English speaker, but also because of her experience in customer service, she is a great addition to our team.

What Lisa says:

“Having Irish roots, I grew up bilingual (German and English) and I have already lived in various countries. So I knew early on that my profession would also have to be internationally oriented. Of course, studying is an important step for this, so I studied not only German & English language but also business administration in Augsburg, Finland and Berlin. During this time, I was able to gain a lot of experience working internship based in customer service, but also in tourism. From there it didn’t take me long to find out that my real passion is communication.

At about:communication I can now deepen my skills and at the same time I have a lot of flexibility. Thanks to the worldwide agency network APR and many international clients, the tasks never become boring. Also, my interest for complex content and new challenges makes the familiarisation with my main topics steel and automotive all the more interesting. Being new to Cologne, there is still a lot for me to discover after a day in the office. And when I’m not in Cologne, you can find me either at sea with a surfboard or in the sea; with diving gear.”
