Accelent Expands to Germany, Lutz Klaus Joins as Partner

 Marketing Globalization Requires Digital Agility Support Across the Regions

San Rafael, CA – March 16, 2017 –  We are pleased to announce that Lutz Klaus has joined the Accelent team based in Berlin.  Headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Accelent Consulting is expanding to strengthen our capabilities in Europe, beyond the UK and France. Our goal is to better address the digital marketing and sales strategy and execution needs of early stage growth companies that want to expand into other regions and need resources with local market expertise. And to help multinationals who need to align operations and require the knowledge and strategic support of global professionals.  He is a great addition to our senior team of proven Industry leaders with international experience and brings deep domain expertise in marketing processes and technology. 

After a long successful career in marketing in the telecommunications and IT industry, Lutz recently started his own consulting practice, Marketing ROI, and partnered with Accelent to work with other like-minded professionals and expand globally.

Proven approaches are questioned while data-driven marketing and real-time decision-making are becoming more important. He believes a new mindset, methodologies, and advanced data skills are needed for marketing to better drive business value.
When asked why he chose to join Accelent he said “Today’s business is global by nature if you engage with customers online.
