OUR COMPANY HISTORY
2010 - 2013
MakesYouLocal was founded by husband and wife Max Riis Christensen and Ingrid Riis Karlsen. Our first HQ was based in Classensgade in the Copenhagen neighbourhood of Østerbro, from where we were servicing our first three clients. In 2011 Max and Ingrid was joined by the company’s first employee.
2014 -2016
An important time in the early development of MakesYouLocal. Søren Kjær Nielsen joined the partnership and we opened our first international office in Vilnius under the management of Donatas Gudelis and established a subsidiary in Norway.2017 - 2020
We outgrew our first HQ and moved to bigger offices in the nearby street of Livjægergade. By the end of 2020 the company had grown to a total of 69 employees and Henrik Hansen and Ann Nørgaard Jensen had become our fourth and fifth partners.2021 – 2022
We established offices in Berlin and Brno to get closer to our clients. The Copenhagen HQ once again had to move, this time to our current address at Tietgens Have - a stone's throw from where the company was founded.
2023 –
In the early days of 2023 MakesYouLocal A/S was created and a new ownership structure was established consisting of Max Riis Christensen, Ingrid Riis Karlsen, Søren Kjær Nielsen, Henrik Hansen, Ann Nørgaard Jensen and Donatas Gudelis.
As of February 2023, the organisation has a total of 117 employees based in our offices in Copenhagen, Vilnius, Berlin and Brno.
