Reflecting on the whirlwind of April 💥 Our talents were thriving yet again! Teaming up with Levi Strauss & Co., Samsung Electronics, C&A, Hunkemöller, and much more. As we dive into May, here's a tip: successful collaborations now require more than just sponsored content; they involve genuine partnerships where brands align with the creator's values and community interests. Creators are becoming strategic partners in brand campaigns, contributing their creative input and expertise in storytelling to deliver more impactful results 🚀

The most impressive feature of Mission Mars’ latest results is not the continued like-for-like sales growth across its two brands or the fact that CEO Roy Ellis believes there’s space for another 10 Albert's Schloss sites across the country (and think of the impact of that), but the fact it has been able to drive down staff turnover close to 55%. It’s all about company culture. With industry averages around 100%, according to some sources, that’s some achievement, and the foundation for delivering those strong performances and exception customer experiences. But just think of the cost implications of being able to retain staff as well - spending significantly less on recruitment, onboarding and training, while retaining experience and valuable know-how. Win, win. #culture #retention #savings #happystaff

🌟 Farewell and New Beginnings: Near 18 Years at Bang & Olufsen 🌟 Dear Network, It is with a mix of nostalgia and excitement that I share this post. After nearly 18 incredible years at Bang & Olufsen, I am bidding farewell to a company that has been my second home, my creative playground, and my source of inspiration. Not two days have been alike and counting 9 positions in B&O I have experienced a lot. The Journey: From my early days as a fresh-faced electronic engineer to my current role as Sr. Manager in IT responsible for IT, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the evolution of audio and design. Bang & Olufsen’s commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and timeless aesthetics has left a serious mark on me. I have been working with people running and improving business in design, production, supply chain, logistics, quality, service, sales and insights generation for all in the company. So experienced the most, but the key nominator have been data and people, generating insights that have made incredible marks and transformed our business. The People: To my colleagues – past and present – you are more than coworkers; you are my extended family. We’ve celebrated victories, overcome challenges, and laughed together over countless cups of coffee. Thank you for being my partners in creativity and resilience. You are the true reason why i stayed for so long, and why B&O remains more relevant than ever before. The Impact: Beyond the products we create, Bang & Olufsen’s extends to making a positive impact on society and the environment. I am proud of the initiatives that champion sustainability, accessibility, and meaningful experiences. Together, we’ve woven magic into soundwaves and touched lives at a global scale. The Future: As I step into this new chapter, I carry with me memories, friendships, and a deep appreciation for the brand that has shaped my professional journey. My bags are packed, and I’m ready to go on the next adventure – wherever it may lead. Thank You: To everyone who has been part of my Bang & Olufsen story, thank you. Let’s stay connected – I look forward to crossing paths in this ever-evolving world. Now it is time for family, reflections and hopefully a lot of coffee-meetings in order to figure out where I should put the next 18 years of my career. My future likely surround working with data, people and technology, as that is where I am being energized. I have been privileged with the most valuable resource – Time. So I will make the most of it to ensure I take the right path for me. So, if this resonates with positions you know of, please don’t hesitate to reach out or share my contacts with whom it may be relevant. 🎵 “And I’m leaving on a jet plane…” 🎵 With gratitude, Lasse Husman
