Last position:
External Marketing Manager for SMEs (Owner) at Bettina Dudek Marketing
External marketing management for SMEs in Switzerland. I bring strategy and execution together so that marketing doesn't end up in a drawer.
Three areas across the customer journey:
- Marketing strategy
- Visibility and customer acquisition
- Customer retention and growth
Focus on the B2B and tech sectors. I've always worked in IT, just from a different perspective each time: as a project manager at an elevator manufacturer, as a Product Owner in the automotive industry, and as a marketer in the data center market. More than ten years, three industries, one constant: translating complex technology so it resonates with the audience.
Think in a structured way. Get things done pragmatically.

About the technology
Vector design at scale
Adobe Illustrator is a vector graphics application for creating artwork that stays sharp across sizes and output formats. Companies use it for logos, icons, illustrations, typography, diagrams, packaging and campaign assets. Its paths, shapes and layers support precise editing without the pixel limits of raster images.
Creative Cloud workflow
Illustrator works closely with Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and other Creative Cloud applications. Strong specialists manage linked assets, color libraries, artboards, fonts, brushes, symbols and reusable components. They also prepare organized source files that other teams can update without breaking the design.
Typical deliverables
- Logo systems and visual identity assets
- Packaging, labels and print-ready artwork
- Editorial illustrations, infographics and icons
- Social, web and presentation graphics
- Technical diagrams and product visuals
Files may be delivered as AI, PDF, SVG, EPS or optimized raster exports, depending on where the artwork will be used. Specialists set up dimensions, bleeds, color profiles and export settings for each channel.
When companies bring in experts
- A rebrand needs a consistent logo and asset system
- Packaging artwork must move from concept to production
- Existing vector files need cleanup or reconstruction
- A product launch requires many coordinated formats
- Internal teams need temporary capacity for a design sprint
Freelance support is useful when deadlines are tight, the brief is specialized or a company needs an outside perspective. In Switzerland, collaboration may involve remote production with local brand, marketing or print teams and clear language expectations.
Skills around Illustrator
The best professionals combine drawing and layout judgment with production knowledge. They understand typography, composition, accessibility, color management, prepress, digital asset delivery and the difference between screen and print output. Experience with Photoshop, InDesign, Figma, After Effects or 3D tools can help when a project crosses formats.
How quality is judged
Review portfolios for work close to the intended medium, not only polished final images. Ask how the specialist handles feedback, naming conventions, editable files, licensing, revisions and handoff. A strong Adobe Illustrator professional explains design decisions, checks technical requirements early and delivers artwork that remains usable after the engagement ends.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Adobe Illustrator, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
Adobe Illustrator is used to create vector artwork such as logos, icons, illustrations, typography, diagrams and packaging layouts. Because vector paths scale cleanly, the same source can support a business card, a website graphic or large-format signage.
Adobe Illustrator is built for vector artwork and precise shapes, while Photoshop is mainly used for pixel-based image editing and compositing. Many projects use both: Illustrator for logos and graphic elements, Photoshop for photography, textures and image retouching.
A strong Adobe Illustrator specialist may also understand typography, brand systems, prepress, color management and digital asset organization. Skills in InDesign, Photoshop, Figma or motion tools are useful when artwork must move between print, web and presentation workflows.
The right level depends on the deliverable rather than a fixed amount of experience. Adobe Illustrator work for a simple asset may need focused production skills, while a brand identity, packaging system or complex illustration calls for strong concept development and print or digital production knowledge.
Yes. Adobe Illustrator projects are well suited to remote collaboration when the brief, references, feedback process and file-sharing rules are clear. For Swiss teams, agree early on the working language, review times, meeting format and whether occasional on-site workshops are needed.
Ask for organized editable source files, linked assets, outlined or licensed fonts where appropriate, and exports matched to each intended use. A capable Adobe Illustrator specialist should also provide print-ready PDFs or formats such as SVG, EPS and PNG when the project requires them.
Look for consistent visual decisions, clean paths, thoughtful typography and examples that match your medium. With Adobe Illustrator, also ask whether the portfolio shows editable systems and production-ready artwork rather than only attractive mockups.
Adobe Illustrator can produce precise technical diagrams, maps, infographics, icons and product illustrations when the source information is well defined. It works best when a specialist can simplify complex content, maintain visual hierarchy and prepare versions for both print and screen.
