3 new ones for the marketing department

In April 2024, the CF Group Germany’s marketing department will have three new members: Natalie Hermann (left) will start as a graphic designer, Emilie Marques (right) will become Community Manager with a focus on social media and Markus Reichert (center) will take over the management of the new marketing team as Operational Marketing Manager (DACH).

Emilie Marques recently completed her Master’s degree in “International Management FR/DE/EN” and has already gained experience in the field of communication and social media in the form of internships and jobs accompanying her studies.

Natalie Hermann can look back on 10 years of professional experience as a graphic designer and has spent the last 5 years working as a designer and project manager at Laudert GmbH.

Markus Reichert knows the pool industry inside out and, after six years at Black & Decker, has spent the last twelve years as Head of Marketing at Zodiac Pool Germany and – following the merger with Fluidra in 2018 – in the same position at Fluidra Germany.

Markus Reichert looks back positively on the first few days: “We were well received and are looking forward to our tasks at the CF Group. At the moment we are still familiarizing ourselves with the products and structures and also learning names and assigning faces. In the next few days we will certainly have questions for one or the other. Once the training has been completed, our goal is to support the CF Group’s business in the best possible way through contemporary and professional marketing.”
