After more than 15 years in sales, the 46-year-old established a reputation on social media during the coronavirus pandemic by making technology accessible to a wide audience in an easy-to-understand way. He has focussed more and more on his favourite topic, building automation, and with KNX he has found an outstanding solution. 

Marco Strelow is now turning his passion for smart buildings into his main professional focus. The move to MDT opens new perspectives: ‘I am so happy to be able to concentrate purely on the topic of smart homes and smart buildings from now on. There are so many exciting products, projects and tips + tricks at MDT and I'm delighted to be the one to tell people about them.’ To start with, the media professional will focus on explanatory films and new product presentations, with many other ideas already in the pipeline. 

In addition to his social media activities, the sales professional is also taking over his own sales territory at MDT. He is now the contact person for all partners and customers in Eastern Europe. CSO Marcel Gramann welcomes the new colleague: ‘Marco Strelow is a perfect match for us: with his passion for smart technology, his sales expertise in the Eastern European market and his entertaining way of making technical topics understandable in videos, he is a perfect fit for us. Thanks to him, we will soon be able to offer our customers a completely new information channel.’ 

MDT wants to use this approach to reach even more interested parties in future and convince them of the benefits of efficient building automation to achieve the common goal: ‘We make dumb buildings smart!’
