Stefan Nerpin says,

"I have one foot in both marketing and corporate communications, two disciplines that today intertwine. The planned campaign methods of marketing are part of corporate communications’ everyday life, and marketing communication now uses the news desk’s way of thinking. This applies to short-term initiatives, but also to long-term strategic issues such as innovation and digitalisation, climate and sustainability, where there is an urgency with stakeholders for more concretized and frequent communication. In collaboration with my new colleagues, I look forward to contributing with effective advice to further aid Kekst CNC’s global clients."
