“My goal: to elicit a smile from my colleagues every now and then.”
Birte Blömers
How long have you been part of the ifok team and where have you been encountered before?
I have been with ifok in Hamburg since April 2022. Before that, I worked for twelve years at RAIKE Kommunikation and since 2013 at RaikeSchwertner in various fields, including tourism and maritime economy. Most recently, I was a senior consultant and team leader in the field of real estate and infrastructure at RaikeSchwertner. This time was interrupted by a short trip to South America: I taught German and English in Argentina for two years and worked as a freelance editor and proofreader at the same time.
What convinces you every day anew that you are right for your job?
There are two things in particular: the people and the tasks.
I enjoy working with my team every day. The regular exchange, the challenges that we master together and the experiences that we make together – that’s what brings us together.
On the other hand, the tasks and topics are always exciting. Every day is different and brings variety. So even after more than twelve years in the agency business, it never gets boring.
What drives you in your working life?
It is important to me that good humour does not fall by the wayside even in stressful situations. My goal: to always bring a smile to my colleagues’ faces. I think that’s what I’m known for!
What do you like doing in your free time?
I sing in the St. Pauli Chamber Choir.
