ANNE MOGELVANG
JOB TITLE: Associate director, global strategy
COMPANY: MediaCom
BASED: UK

Describe an occasion where you have made a decisive contribution to your own brand or your client’s business.

Before joining the global strategy team in London, I was an account manager at MediaCom Denmark. I was eager to work abroad. When the Global Team came to the Nordics to train us in the new planning process, I identified this as my opportunity and I went for it. I prepared, displayed enthusiasm, skill and curiosity during the training, and I made sure to network with key members of the team. From that came the move to London.

What drives you to succeed?

I think it’s crucial to first establish what success means. The most common interpretation of this I suppose would be climbing the corporate ladder one promotion at a time, but for me success means being in a position where I love what I do, where I am inspired and challenged. At this particular time in my life, success also means getting to travel and work all over the world.
