“At FLSK I learned to trust in myself”

If you're looking for the five-person marketing team in the FLSK office, all you have to do is follow the cheerful mood. Located in a beautiful open-plan office is the cozy workday living room of Ani, Bogna, and Cindy.

With their crazy ideas and marketing campaigns, the three ensure that the world learns about the fabulous FLSK products. They are actively supported by the sweet office dog Sissy, who wags her tail.

And because there's still so much to talk about at the end of the workday, the marketing team often goes further in the evening – to a nearby restaurant or to one of their kitchens for an Aperol. A team like that needs to celebrate sometimes!

Ani: Our Düsseldorf Social Media Manager

Ani has always been passionate about social media. Now she has the perfect job: She gets paid to make funny TikTok videos! Everyone at FLSK knows her big grin when she comes around the corner with her phone to recruit a "victim" for a new video! But of course, Ani's job is about more than just fun content: She plans the budget, monitors performance, and manages collaborations.

Ani joined FLSK from Düsseldorf a year and a half ago. Back then, there was no one dedicated entirely to social media. With her master's degree in fashion and luxury management, she was actually predestined for the big fashion labels. But what can we say: Ani won us over with her cheerful personality and outstanding work. That's why we never let her go. 😊

What do you look forward to most on your way to work in the morning?

I love working here in our cool Munich office. The atmosphere is relaxed, I can bring my dog, and I'm surrounded by all these super-fun and friendly people. I just enjoy being together!

I'm also looking forward to playing loud music through the Sonos speaker at lunchtime. But there are also days when it's all about one thing: our internal table tennis world championship! I can hardly wait to play a few rounds of table tennis with the crew again.

What does your typical workday look like?

I arrive around 9 a.m.—with my little dog Sissy, of course! She has to greet everyone thoroughly and give them wet doggie kisses.

Then I go to the kitchen and fill up my FLSK 750 ml stone water bottle. This keeps Sissy and I well hydrated throughout the morning. Back in my office, I start the first intensive work phase.

Between 1 and 2 p.m., I take my lunch break, preferably with colleagues. Sometime after 5 p.m., I grab my dog ​​and we head home. She's already looking forward to her well-deserved walk.

What do you like most about FLSK?

I love the start-up atmosphere. I learn something new every day and can continually expand my interests and professional knowledge. If, for example, I want to explore a different area, that's easy with us.

What's pretty great is that at FLSK, everyone can be who they are and is valued for it. In that respect, we're like a big, small family. Every opinion is heard, and everyone is important. 

What do you value most about your job at FLSK?

Clearly: the flexibility. For example, I can bring my dog ​​to work, which isn't something you can take for granted. As a dog mom, that makes me very happy!

And I can decide for myself whether I prefer to work in the office or from home. That's a true luxury! I can even go to Düsseldorf to work with my family for a week.

What do you get up for in the morning?

I want to be the best version of myself. That's hard to achieve if I stay in bed—even though it's tempting sometimes!

What did you learn about yourself at FLSK?

Trusting in myself. I realized I have strengths I didn't even know existed before FLSK! Since I started working here, I've often exceeded my own expectations, both professionally and personally. And that's the best compliment you can give a job, right? 😊
