44-year-old Rasmus Blegvad has joined as partner and commercial director of the rapidly growing digital marketing agency, KompetenceKanalen A/S, which is headquartered in Aarhus.
Rasmus Blegvad resigned in the summer of 2023 from his position as Jyllands-Posten’s advertising director and as managing director of Jyllands-Posten’s Local Newspapers in order to, at the time, become investment director for an asset manager.
“It is an extremely heavy and skilled media profile that we have brought to the management team in KompetenceKanalen. Rasmus’s drive in sales, operations and management is unparalleled. And thus an invaluable contribution to our continued growth ambitions”, says Benjamin Ben-Noon, co-founder of the agency.
KompetenceKanalen A/S has significant ambitions for both organic growth and growth via acquisitions, and already in 2024 the company expects a bottom line growth of 80%.
“With the speed and the ambitions that I meet here, there was nothing to worry about. I am surrounded by exactly what I love; people who want to do better today than they did yesterday. And with the right mix of digital innovation and really talented employees, I see great opportunities – both Danish and international – to strengthen a growth journey that has long since begun”, says the new commercial director, Rasmus Blegvad.
Partner in the Competence Channel
Rasmus Blegvad is – through several decades with functions in advertising and advertising sales at both Jyllands-Posten, Jyllands-Posten Lokalaviser and TV2 – a household name in the marketing industry. He is widely recognized for his direct, results-seeking and unpretentious approach to both life and work. And to be able to motivate everyone around him; both customers and employees:
“We have – with Rasmus – got a lightning bolt in our midst. Ambitious and results-driven from morning to night. And great to be with”, says Benjamin Ben-Noon, CFO and partner in KompetenceKanalen.
KompetenceKanalen A/S, which also includes the subsidiary Jonas Visuals, Webman, Kaboozt and including Publizher, have great ambitions to be more prominent in 2025 via branding and not just acquisitions, says Mathias Leth, partner and COO. “I can’t wait to present the industry with the very big news that will be implemented at the start of the new year.”
“But this is only the beginning. We have strong ambitions to add more colleagues to all the companies in the coming years”, says Rasmus Blegvad.
