ABOUT ROBERT SARVIK

I\'ve always been convinced that there is more to communication than just words. When people asked me, why I chose a career in communications and marketing, I answered rather cunningly \"because it\'s the only way to influence people, to make them think and feel what YOU want them to\". Thankfully, I no longer have such a cynical view of the world; it now only belongs to my younger self.No, communications and marketing are not tools of power – it\'s actually about knowing what to say and when to say it in order to achieve the best possible results.As a marketing and PR consultant for visionary corporations in IT, as well as construction and development, I found a strong motivation to succeed and it also made my heart skip a beat. In this role, I developed strategies, put them into action, made sure that issues and crises were kept at bay and, most importantly, had the privilege of interacting and influencing clients and business partners. I learnt early on the value of rolling up my sleeves and working hard to attain goals, always putting the employer first and making sure that nothing is impossible despite constantly having to work in high pressure environments.However, it wasn\'t until I started working as marketing manager that I became the professional I am today. I\'m not in the habit of settling for what\'s out there – I\'m looking for an employer who dreams big and allows me to make sure that those dreams come true. I always aim to leave a mark, to make things better, so if I sound like the kind of employee you want on your team; don\'t think twice about letting me know.Specialties: Marketing communications, strategic communication, event management, CRM, brand management, crisis and issues management, PR, corporate branding, global affairs, reputation management, media relations, investor relations
