Jägermeister promotes Ann‑Kathrin Reiher to Marketing Chief
Ann‑Kathrin Reiher will become Director Brand & Digital at Mast‑Jägermeister Deutschland GmbH on 1 August 2026. The promotion formalises an internal succession: she succeeds Paul Ramser, who after roughly five years in the role left Mast‑Jägermeister to join Eckes‑Granini. Reiher began her career at Jägermeister as an apprentice, has worked for the company for more than eight years in total, and—after a stint as Account Director at Serviceplan Group in Hamburg—returned in early 2024 as Teamlead Customer Marketing On‑Trade. In her new role she will lead brand strategy and digital brand communications for the German market, continuing Jägermeister's focus on consumer and on‑trade marketing. The appointment was announced on the company's LinkedIn channel and reported by Tim Theobald (HORIZONT) in Lebensmittelzeitung on 29 July 2026.
