I was born with a condition called ‘Creative Brain’.

The symptoms include regular outbursts of silly ideas, funny stories and inappropriate comments. Because this peculiarity wasn’t treated early enough, I wasn’t able to become something normal like a dentist, attorney or accountant.

Instead, I became a copywriter and, later on, a creative director at Ogilvy&Mather, Philipp und Keuntje, Jung von Matt, Kolle Rebbe, thjnk and Optimist, where I found understanding and appreciation working for clients like Ikea, Škoda, Audi, Metro, IWC, Lufthansa, DHL and many others. During this stage my creative fits not only spread from German to English, I was also entrusted with leading large teams, even whole departments of creative brains.

I’m a member of a support group of people with Creative Brains called ADC Deutschland and, yes, I have found some international encouragement and recognition at the Cannes Lions, Clio, One Show, D&AD, ADC Europe, Epica and others too.
