Digital project management

You’re launching a strategic digital project and you need someone senior to run it, without hiring full-time, without a six-figure agency contract. I take charge of your project, from scoping to handover, as a temporary member of your team.

What kind of projects

I take on digital projects that demand senior coordination and a real understanding of the business:

Website and platform redesigns

complex, multilingual or multi-market

Digital marketing programmes

SEO, paid, content, analytics (aligned with business strategy)

E-commerce launches

or major platform evolutions

Digital transformation projects

where the human dimension matters as much as the technical one

Audits and structuring

of digital marketing teams or processes

The format is flexible: a fixed-scope, fixed-duration mission, support during the critical phase of a project, or a recurring engagement over several months.

How I work

1. Scoping

Before we start, we align on objectives, scope, stakeholders, risks and success criteria. Clean scoping saves weeks down the line. This phase takes anywhere from a few days to two or three weeks depending on complexity.

2. Steering

I run the project day-to-day: coordinating internal and external teams, making trade-offs, communicating with stakeholders, tracking deliverables and budget. I act as a senior member of your team, not as an outside agency sending weekly status reports.

3. Closure and handover

At the end of the project, you receive a clear review: what was delivered, what’s still open, what to watch in the months that follow. The capability stays in your company, not with me.

Who I work with

This service is designed for medium and large companies, and international groups operating in Switzerland, that:

Have an important digital project but no senior internal resource to run it

Have a team that can execute, but need someone to structure, prioritise and arbitrate

Want quality and rigour without weighing the structure down with a long hire or a full agency contract

If you’re an SME looking to improve your visibility on Google, that’s a different activity (see SEO consulting).

Twenty years in digital marketing, fifteen of them in operational roles before going independent.
I led the global digital marketing strategy at Vorwerk International (16 countries, from SEO to paid, e-commerce and analytics), ran the digital reach of local.ch and search.ch at Swisscom Directories, and managed digital marketing for multilingual Swiss platforms at Amiado Group.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this service for?

For medium and large companies, and international groups operating in Switzerland, that need to deliver an important digital project without hiring internally or contracting an agency for the whole thing. The typical case: a strategic project over 3 to 12 months, where senior coordination makes the difference between a project that delivers and one that drifts.

When is this service not the right fit?

If you already have a structured Project Management Office (PMO) and a senior project lead available. Or if you’re looking for pure operational execution (development, design, copywriting). In that case, you need an execution team, not a senior consultant.

What kind of projects do you take on?

Website redesigns, e-commerce launches or evolutions, digital marketing programmes (SEO, paid, content, analytics), digital transformation, structuring of marketing teams or processes. Always with a strategic or business dimension, not purely technical.

How long does an engagement last?

It depends on the project. A scoping phase can run two to three weeks, full project steering between three months and over a year. Scope and duration are agreed together during the first conversation.

What languages do you work in?

German, English and French. International engagements are common — I’ve run teams and projects in around fifteen countries.

How does the first contact work?

A 30-minute call to understand your context, the project, your constraints. No commitment. If the engagement makes sense for both sides, I’ll send you a scoped proposal in the days that follow.

Have a project in mind?

The first conversation is free and without commitment. Thirty minutes to understand your context and see whether a collaboration makes sense.
