Recommendations

MIKKO RINDELL

Marketing Director at GetJenny

"Markus helped our marketing team to create GetJenny website, which we launched in early 2020. Markus' design-thinking and prioritization skills guided us through the complex questions about what content to present and what not to present on our website.  

I especially liked the fact that Markus made our internal team prioritize the personas and users, to which we were creating the online experience. 

After the website renewal, we have been able to 3x the number of our tracked conversions and increase our traffic by 50%."

As a Creative Director Markus was responsible for Jongla's brands, product innovation, lean UX, UI and service design. Markus was also responsible for the localization and globalization of the user experience and leading our advertising and design team and part of the executive team.  

Markus is a highly talented, hard working and innovative creative director with outstanding work ethics and excellent teamwork skills. He has been a highly appreciated member of our team and therefore I gladly recommend him for any future position."
