👨‍🎓 "𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗺𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝗻𝗼!" 👨‍🎓
(I stole this sentence from Jasmin Alic, but it's just too good  to give it back.)

Fact: My Alma Mater called the moment I walked out the door after my diploma examination. I've been teaching at "my" Department of Science of Communication since the dawn of the new millenium. And I'm extremely proud of it. (Our department constantly ranks in the Shanhai Top 10!)

Curricula change and adapt. I've always taught various facets of new media, from online journalism to scientific data analysis. Since 5 years I'm teaching the new, dedicated course "Social Media A" which is part of the SoC (Science of Communication) curriculum.

The course is comprised of theory and practical appliactions. Prof. Dr. Annie Waldherr teaches the theory part while I talk about marketing, GDPR and social media publishing. And of course LinkedIn, a great tool for students and researchers alike.

Most of my lectures are publicly available on my Youtube channel. (Playlist link below, in German)

🟦 Two guys and two girls walk into a Zoom room. (But that's actually not how the story of B2B Like a Boss began.) ⏩

We "walked into each other" on LinkedIn and then we met in Vienna to orchestrate the first edition of a training series that has shaped the face of LinkedIn DACH during the last three years.

Britta, Marina, Tomas and me instantly clicked. Combining our core expertises and offering hour insights to ambitious content creators turned out an excellent idea.

🟦 Venture into the corporate world I did - but only part-time. ⏩

"Project manager for Web SMS and A1 Winnerzone, responsible for online campaign planning, SEO, AdWords."

That's how I'd describe my job on my LinkedIn profile.

Working for A1 was awesome - I learned a lot. And knowing the company quite well proved immensely helpfull when I coached CEO Thomas Arnoldner in personal branding years later.

Social Media / Online Marketing Strategist

Heise Medien GmbH & Co. KG

🟦 To me, Heise Verlag is a Unicorn. And telepolis is the accompanying rainbow. ⏩

Over the years I authored various features about digital events and interviews with net artists / theoreticians.

telepolis is where technology, media theory and digital arts overlap. I'm proud to have contributed my little share to this awesome magazine!

All articles are archived - see attached link.

Online Journalist

SWAROVSKI

🟦 How do you learn video editing the hard way? Your first clip is an installation to be displayed in Austria's most popular museum. ⏩

We were young and bold.

And when I fired Premiere up for the first time, I had no idea what I was doing.

But I knew how to Google.

My 2-minute team presentation received more exposure at Kristallwelten-Museum than any of my "viral"  Youtube shorts. (And I still love that retro-b/w-look.)

But that was just one face of the metaphorical crystal. I was also resonsible for our online marketing activities. 💎

ORF 

🟦 Video did not kill the radio star! Call us early podcasters if you will. ⏩

mp3 players were bulky, Apple hadn't invented the iPod yet.

The term "Podcast" was yet to be coined. If you wanted to get word out, you'd either have to sign with a hip hop label or work for a radio station.

We picked a national one and they played our tunes for years. (When i say tunes I mean interviews & features.)

As in: My colleagues from medianexus (Sandra Manhartseder and Peter Steinberger) and me recorded and produced a couple of features for Austrian radio station Ö1's media magazine "matrix".

And contrary to popular opinion: The internet does forget. But Ö1 is still standing strong. (I admit though that I always listen to FM4 in my car.)

Broadcast Journalist

Red Bull

🟦 Givemewings was a "social platform" conceptualized and built by Red Bull a couple of years before the term was coined but the site never went live. ⏩

I was responsible for the music channel, including managing the editorial content and establishing a download platform.

The site never went online.

(But for two years, I had daily access to free, unlimited supply of Red Bull. Haven't been able to ever touch a can since week two. Great content marketing, terrible refreshment, if you ask me.)
