Jens Brandt
Project manager at an IT service provider (around 80 employees) · Vienna-Neubau, Vienna
For him, what lies between two cities is mainly a weekend: when visitors arrive from Hamburg, the project manager at a Viennese IT service provider turns, within hours, into a tour guide who reserves tables at the Heuriger (a traditional Viennese wine tavern) and picks up things he’d never buy for himself. What Jens shows to others, he had to work out for himself first, over four years — on his own city map he’s marked places, most of which he has never actually visited.
In Radical Personas, Jens reviews your website, ad, or copy from exactly this standpoint — with a Score and reasoning you can follow.
