“I believe in what we do at Intercel.”
An interview with Tessa Hoogenboom, Manager of Marketing at Intercel
At Intercel, we believe that innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. But who are the people behind our mission? In this series of interviews, we let our colleagues talk about what it’s like to work at Intercel. Today we talk to Tessa Hoogenboom, Marketing Manager at Intercel. She tells how she came to us, what makes her work so special and why she enjoys going to work every day.
Why Intercel? A company with impact
For many companies, marketing is all about encouraging consumption, but for Tessa that didn’t feel right. “With many companies, marketing encourages overconsumption, something I personally don’t support. That’s why I wanted to work for a company that really adds something to the world,” she says. She found that impact at Intercel. “We are contributing to a more sustainable future, and that makes me feel like I really mean something.”
An open and dynamic corporate culture
Intercel is growing rapidly, but maintains a warm and engaged corporate culture. “The atmosphere is open and genuine,” says Tessa. “Everyone works hard, but there is absolutely no overtime culture. Colleagues also enjoy their time off, which I think is very healthy.” And job satisfaction is not forgotten: “The party committee organizes a lot of fun activities. Our annual ski trip is really a highlight!”
No day is the same
As marketing manager, no day is the same for Tessa. Together with her colleagues Sander and Jochem, she puts Intercel on the map. “My job consists of two main parts: strategy and optimization on the one hand, and hands-on tasks such as website management, SEO, SEA, LinkedIn advertising and PR on the other,” she explains. “That dynamic nature makes my job incredibly fun.”
Challenges and growth
A fast-growing company brings challenges. “The fast pace at Intercel forces me to work ever more efficiently and keep developing my skills,” says Tessa. Fortunately, she is not alone. “It feels like we’re doing this together. The growth we are experiencing as a department is tremendously motivating.”
Working together and celebrating successes
The marketing team at Intercel is small but powerful. “We complement each other well and are always there for each other,” says Tessa. One of her proudest moments? “Rolling out our new corporate identity! From social media to trade shows, everything is right now and that is immensely satisfying.”
Why you should join Intercel
For those considering applying for a job at Intercel, Tessa has a clear message: “Definitely do it! The time flies by and the work is challenging and varied. You work with fun, motivated colleagues and help build a company that really makes an impact.”
