Merle Jurzig

Merle has been responsible for marketing and communications at IZET since 2023. She plans, develops, and designs online communications—including the website, social media channels, and the newsletter—as well as live communications for trade shows and events. Another focus of her work is the further development of the IZET Innovation Center and InnoQuarter Itzehoe brands.

She is a trained media designer (advertising agency in Hamburg) and holds a degree in marketing (part-time distance learning). After holding permanent positions at an advertising agency and a publishing house, she worked as a freelancer and carried out projects for the IZET Innovation Center, among others, where she is now a permanent employee.

“The IZET Innovation Center provides valuable services for the region and beyond every day. Making these visible and communicating them to the outside world is an aspect of my work that I greatly appreciate. I find it particularly exciting to tell the stories of the startups—the people behind the ideas, their visions, and their courage to try something new. I’m also delighted to be part of raising the profile of the innovation hub through the “InnoQuarter Itzehoe” location brand—and to do so from Kiel, my adopted home.”
