Vision

• To offer the best Flight Search in the world and to establish a global travel brand.

... And the means:

Page 8: Momondo, ecommerce and international academics

The Global Challenge

• Country Managers situated in local markets– Expensive saleries– Difficult to manage– No control over the brand– Different profiles– Travel expenses

Page 9: Momondo, ecommerce and international academics

The Solution

• Centralize marketing to Copenhagen Office– Advantages:• A unified brand• Training from main office• Country managers with strong and broad marketing

profiles• Direct & close communication with other departments

(e.g. PR, Newsletter, Content, and Social)• Best practice sharing with other Marketing Managers• Less vulnerable to employee turnover

Difficult to be a global player situated in Denmark

• Difficult to attract skilled labour to Copenhagen– High taxes– Only small communities for international workers– Language barriers– Not competitive with e.g. London or New York

... Then Came Iulia

• Presented by ”Kom i Job”– 6 months evaluation period– 6 months with split salery payment– Interview arranged by Casper Cordes

• Scepticism from our side- Motivated employee?- Much paper work (costs)?
