About Katharina

From Galeria Kaufhof to Rheinwunder.

Katharina studied Applied Information Science at TH Köln, combining business topics with computer science. While still a student she gained experience in online marketing at Galeria Kaufhof GmbH, first as an intern and later as a working student in affiliate marketing and partnerships. There she met Olga Grundmann, who led affiliate marketing at Galeria Kaufhof at the time.

In 2017 Katharina moved to Rheinwunder together with Olga. She started as a student assistant, took on the role of Junior Affiliate and Project Manager in 2018 and became Senior Affiliate and Project Manager in 2019. As Team Lead Affiliate Marketing she has led the affiliate and outreach team since February 2022. It matters to her that the team shares knowledge, supports one another and develops together. What appeals to her most about affiliate marketing is the combination of analytical thinking, personal contact and creative solutions.

Expertise

Affiliate marketing with strategy, strong partnerships and clear goals

A successful partner programme needs a clear strategy, suitable publishers and a reliable technical basis. Katharina brings experience from both the retailer and the agency side. Together with the Rheinwunder team she combines these perspectives into a service that develops partnerships and keeps commercial success in view.

Strategy and programme setup

We align partner programmes with the goals of our clients, from the initial setup to a realignment. To do this we choose suitable networks, build the right publisher mix and design commission models. Rheinwunder is an Awin Certified Agency and a Tradedoubler Certified Agency.

Publishers and partnerships

We recruit publishers that fit the brand, the target group and the sales goals. We look after and activate existing partners through personal contact, individual agreements and joint promotions.

Tracking, quality and evaluation

We check tracking, product data and creatives and keep an eye on the quality of the partnerships. We assess which publishers and promotions contribute to the result and how commissions, fees and promotion costs relate to it.

Working together

What matters to me when we work together

Understanding the goals behind the programme.
Every company has different conditions and expectations. That is why it matters to me to understand the brand, its target group and its commercial goals. This leads to recommendations that fit the company.

Clear advice and reliable collaboration.
I want our clients to understand why we recommend a measure and what priority it has. For me this includes open exchange, clear agreements and raising challenges early.

Sharing knowledge and finding solutions together.
Good support thrives on exchange, within the team as much as with clients and publishers. Different perspectives help us develop new ideas and make well-founded decisions.
