ANCORA COMMUNICATIONS - Key Persons


Allison Edwards

Job Titles:
  • Account Manager
Allison is our very own chameleon. She's known for shapeshifting in between concept girl, copywriter and project manager. Her experience includes more than seven years of blending into advertising, marketing and event-planning environments. While her camouflaging skills may be top-notch, a few things about her always stand out: Her out-of-the box ideas. Her ability to inject any form of communication with emotional impact. And her always cheery disposition.

Antje Hanna Roehl - Founder, Managing Director

Job Titles:
  • Founder
  • Managing Director
Antje is the heart and soul of Ancora Communications. Bringing more than 20 years of experience in the maritime, trade and logistics sector, she manages to fuse industry standards with her own brand of creative flair. As a former deputy editor-in-chief of a prominent industry publication, she knows what makes reporters tick. And with degrees in both economics and communications, spinning business strategies, developing brands and fine-tuning communication material is all in a day's work for Antje.

Charles Allan

Job Titles:
  • Creative Director
There are two kinds of ideas you can expect from Charles: Great ones and even better ones. This British expat is a powerhouse of branding and design. With more than 30 years of experience in 2D and 3D work at a treasure trove of international agencies, Charles is an awarded member of D&AD, and he always pushes design boundaries to differentiate brands. Much like a good wine in a barrel, he seems to be in the middle of a process of refinement, with no end in sight.

Heiko Frentz

Job Titles:
  • Web Developer

Kerstin Zapp

Job Titles:
  • Editor
Kerstin is our editor extraordinaire. Having learned the ropes as a journalist at Germany's leading transport publication and worked in the logistics publishing for more than 30 years, Kerstin knows how to get the scoop. Today, she'll bend over backwards to find the right angle for our clients' stories. She gets to the heart of the matter and delivers to the point, whether it's a report, feature, interview, essay or portrait. Even when given an impossibly tight deadline, this experienced editor always manages to keep her cool. Maybe it's because her home in the northern German climate taught her how to calmly weather any storm. In any case, flexibility and passion are Kerstin's secret weapons.
