My Fresh Start

A Dash of Marketing, A Pinch of Strategy, and a Whole Lot of Teamwork – My First Week at The Pampered Chef

Starting a new job always feels a bit like opening a mystery package—exciting, full of surprises, and just a little nerve-wracking. What will the team be like? What challenges will I dive into first? And most importantly… will there be good coffee? ☕

Well, one week in at The Pampered Chef, and I can confidently say:

✔️ The team? Fantastic—collaborative, passionate, and full of energy.

✔️ The challenges? Plenty! And I can’t wait to tackle them.

✔️ The coffee? Definitely there, though I’m still assessing its full potential. ☕

Getting to Know the Business & the People Behind It

There’s something special about stepping into a company with a strong purpose and a loyal community. The Pampered Chef isn’t just about kitchen gadgets—it’s about helping people cook with more joy and less stress. Whether it’s stoneware, choppers, or that new tool the kids and I got to try (which will definitely soon become a cult favorite - it is already so at home), I can already see why people love these products.

But what’s even more exciting? The people behind the brand. From my first meetings, it’s clear that everyone here believes in what we do—whether they’re sourcing new products, supporting consultants, or crafting marketing strategies to spread the love of cooking.

Marketing & Processes: My Mission Ahead

As Project & Online Marketing Manager Europe, my role is all about helping our marketing team work smarter, plan better, and execute bigger ideas. Think of it as fine-tuning a great recipe:

🔹 A dash of structure to keep projects running smoothly

🔹 A pinch of innovation to bring fresh ideas to the table

🔹 A big spoonful of teamwork because great things happen when we collaborate

🔹 A Zest of inspiration to ensure consultants and customers have the greatest experience

Over the next weeks, I’ll be diving deeper into our marketing processes, identifying ways to make things more efficient, impactful, and (hopefully) stress-free for everyone involved.

Excited for What’s Next!

A first week is just the appetizer—the real adventure is just beginning! Whether you’re a fellow marketer, a fan of Pampered Chef products, or just someone who loves a great career journey, I’d love to connect.
