Career

Seven roles, one direction.

From my first job at a start-up to my own company. In between came a Swiss office built from scratch, two brands and a national out-of-home advertising company. Six paid roles, plus one voluntary role.

  1. March 2026 – October 2026

    Growth Manager

    Agency in Zurich Communications and creative agency

    I was responsible both for new business and for the question of which services the agency offers. Usually, these are two separate jobs.

    • New business and building the sales pipeline
    • Part of the pitch team for multi-year mandates with national brands
    • Innovation management: developed new services and brought them to market
    • Responsible for marketing, reach and measurement
    • Working with creative, PR and editorial on one shared brand presence
  2. October 2023 – present, part-time

    Founder and Owner

    digital M. GmbH , opens in a new tab Marketing services

    I do the work I sell myself. That is why I only promise in a sales conversation what I can deliver.

    The tools under Work samples grew out of this work. They solve problems I had when winning my own clients.

    • Self-employed since October 2023, incorporated as a GmbH in March 2024
    • Built the agency from zero: positioning, offer, pricing model, acquisition
    • New business through direct outreach, the website and my network
    • Performance mandates in Google, Meta, Microsoft and LinkedIn Ads
    • Clients from construction, education, tourism, industry and retail
    • The whole process in one hand, from the first meeting to client care
  3. January 2024 – present

    Head of Performance Marketing

    Startup Nights , opens in a new tab Start-up event Voluntary role

    I run the channels by the same rules as a client mandate. There is just no budget for detours.

    • Responsible for the performance marketing channels
    • Advice and support in digital marketing and tracking
  4. November 2023 – August 2025

    Head of Marketing

    Thermogreen AG , opens in a new tab Construction industry

    One brand had to enter the market for the first time. The other already had a history and needed a new shape. I measured both by what reached the sales team.

    • Leading the marketing team
    • Market launch of the NOOK brand (nook.swiss)
    • Rebranding of S-Design (sdesign.ch) and brand development
    • Budget responsibility and lead generation for sales

    As Head of Marketing and my direct manager, he brought the company’s digital infrastructure up to date, including the successful introduction of HubSpot and the creation of an effective online campaign structure. […] I recommend Janick without reservation as a strategic, solution-oriented and visionary marketing expert.

  5. May 2022 – September 2023

    Business Development Manager

    Think 11 AG , opens in a new tab Marketing services

    The office had no client base and no references. Nobody here knew the brand. I built it up through direct outreach and through conversations with the people who make the decisions.

    • Built up the Swiss office of the DACH agency
    • New business, pitches and proposals in the Swiss market
    • Stakeholder management for investors, partners and clients

    Janick grasps things quickly, is technically adept and has excellent knowledge of programmatic advertising and performance marketing, both as a strong sales and client adviser and in managing operational service providers and colleagues.

    Account Manager

    APG|SGA AG, aymo , opens in a new tab Advertising services

    Selling a product that is still being developed also means helping to build it. Whatever kept coming up as missing in sales conversations, I passed on to the development team.

    • Sales of aymo, the mobile targeting solution for location-based campaigns
    • Selling programmatic campaigns, with regional responsibility
    • Helped develop aymo and further digital solutions
  7. February 2015 – March 2020

    Sales Coordinator, Field Sales and Trainee

    Swiss Eyewear Group AG , opens in a new tab Retail
