What do you think makes GAULY so special?

For me, GAULY is the perfect mix of interesting projects, the opportunity to make a difference in the company itself, and great colleagues. That last point is especially important to me. Working with such intelligent, likeable, and motivated people is not only very instructive but also incredibly fun.

Why did you choose GAULY?

GAULY was interesting for me mainly because of the exciting and diverse projects. However, the company’s additional commitment to social projects in particular and the fact that I got to know a large part of the team during the application process were the deciding factors. This gave me a first-hand impression of my future coworkers and the company culture.

Why do you like working at GAULY?

The way we work with each other at GAULY is quite exceptional. The crucial thing is always that we achieve the best result for the customer and that the quality is right. This results in very flat hierarchies in our collaboration, and there is huge motivation to develop the best possible solution.

What knowledge and skills do you need in your work as a consultant?  

In communications consulting, strategic conceptual thinking and an excellent command of language are both essential. Since we are always working on several projects at any given time, consultants should also be flexible and good at multitasking. But the most important things are empathy and the ability to really listen to the other person.

„For me, working for GAULY is the perfect mix of interesting projects, the opportunity to make a difference in the company and great colleagues.“

Gauly Advisors GmbH - Philipp Heinz, Director

Philipp Heinz

  • Director

Biography

Based in Frankfurt, Philipp Heinz advises clients on strategic communication matters. His focus is on crisis communication and issues management, media relations, and digital communication.

Before joining GAULY, Philipp was a journalist for the news agencies AP and dapd as well as a communication manager and press officer at Sanofi’s German headquarters.

Philipp studied history, journalism, philosophy, and foreign policy in Mainz and Washington before attending the German School of Journalism in Munich.

Why did you choose GAULY?

For our customers, our counsel and support are extremely to the point; we can really make a difference. The frequently changing topics and challenges/problems appealed to me, also because much of it has a direct connection to the megatrends and overarching challenges of our time.

How would you describe the working atmosphere at GAULY?

We work together in small teams in a collegial and concentrated spirit the likes of which I’ve rarely experienced before. It’s an atmosphere where good ideas prevail, no matter who has them.

How often do you have to travel for work? 

That varies greatly depending on the nature of the project. On average, I travel about one or two days a month, mostly within Germany or to neighboring countries. For me, that’s a good mix: I get out of the office for a while without it negatively impacting my family life.

What do you like to do besides work?

I enjoy reading and discussing social and political topics. I relax by cooking (risotto’s my favorite) and singing in a choir.

Laura Carolin Freitag

  • Senior Associate

Biography

Laura Carolin Freitag advises companies on public affairs and government relations at the federal, state, and EU levels.

On this basis, she develops strategies to enable clients to position themselves successfully vis-à-vis the government and parliament.

Before joining GAULY, Laura Carolin Freitag's consulting focus was on health policy. Prior to that, she gained professional experience at the Federal Foreign Office in Berlin and the United Nations in Geneva.

Laura Carolin Freitag holds a Master's degree in Politics, Economics, and Philosophy from the University of Hamburg. She studied at the Sorbonne in Paris and at Harvard University in the USA.

What do you think makes GAULY so special?

GAULY brings together very different personalities and unites them to make an unbeatable team. The diversity of experience, education, and competencies within the company encourages me to grow both professionally and personally. Learning daily and exchanging ideas within our different teams are some of the most important parts of our work at GAULY.

We are successful because we respect each other, rely on each other, and tackle any problems together with creative solutions. We work not only with our heads but also with our hearts as we have a passion for helping our clients.

Why did you choose GAULY?

At GAULY, I am given the opportunity to actively participate in building relationships with those who work on projects in politics, business, and society. It allows me to make a difference in the political field. Right from my start at Gauly, I was given the opportunity to be involved in solving complex strategic issues while being able to implement jointly developed solutions as part of a larger team. In doing so, I could be in direct contact with political decision-makers, central stakeholders, and their respective customers.

What does a typical day at work look like for you?

Looking at the newspaper - electronically or on paper - is always the first thing I do in the morning. After seeing the current news of our society, no two days are the same. The planning of projects from the previous day often needs to be changed drastically as the environment of our society has changed drastically overnight. Since Public Affairs is also a lot about networking, attending events in political Berlin is another important element of our work. Especially during the weeks when the German Bundestag is in session, numerous important events take place in Berlin. At these events, I get to hear points of perspectives that help me in my analyses for our clients.

What do you like to do besides work?

Accompanied by my dog, I find my balance between work and leisure time by taking time for long walks around Berlin. I also always have a good book in my luggage as I often lose myself in the world of literature while sipping a cup of coffee in Berlin cafés.

Gauly Advisors GmbH - Stephanie Rank, Director

Stephanie Rank

  • Director

Biography

Stephanie Rank advises organizations undergoing change. She specializes primarily in internal communication and interaction formats. Stephanie has many years of experience in advising corporate groups and medium-sized companies.

Before joining GAULY, she was employed at cc:langen GmbH.

She earned her diploma at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where she studied sociology, business administration, and economics.

What do you think makes GAULY so special?**

We provide consultancy at the interface between communications and strategy. This gives us great leverage to get things moving and create real value-add. Each individual contributes their expertise and ideas. No matter at what level.

What does a typical day at work look like for you?

Usually different than expected. Even if there’s already a plan in place for the day, a single email can upset everything. But that’s what makes it exciting. To adapt quickly to new situations and still not lose track of things is what my daily work is all about. In Munich, having lunch as a team is a solid rock amidst all the turbulence.

How much responsibility are you allowed to take on?

A lot. As project manager, my job is to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Besides actually managing the project, this also includes responsibility for the team. But we’re encouraged to take on responsibility beyond the project business as well. In Munich, for example, I’m in charge of selecting our interns. I enjoy that because you get to meet a lot of inspiring people.

What do you like to do besides work?

To provide a balance to working on the computer, I’m often out in nature. Whether on my bike or my inline skates, I’m usually accompanied by our dog. Since I live in the Five Lakes district, swimming, skating, and curling are also very popular in winter.

Why did you choose GAULY?

I became aware of GAULY by chance during my studies and did an internship here. I stayed because I always felt valued, and from the very beginning I had the feeling that the company had great goals.

What does a typical day at work look like for you?

I arrive in the morning and leave in the evening. Those are the only constants. What happens in between is determined by our clients. Most of the time it’s a colorful mix of creative brainstorming with coworkers, focused writing and concept development, all kinds of research, and a bit of graphic design.

How much responsibility are you allowed to take on?

A little more each day. I had “my” jobs from the beginning and the team had to be able to rely on me. The more I wanted to take on, the more responsibility I was given.

What do you like to do besides work?

I used to write song lyrics. Nowadays I like to go out into nature, play video games, or read Swiss columnist Martin Suter.
