Together with Jung von Matt/Neckar we developed a campaign to show the commitment of the German national team to win the World Cup 2014 in Brazil and how this is tied to their main sponsor: Mercedes-Benz. Sorry dad.

I started a music project called “Odense“ back in the summer of 2007, finally while being in between jobs in 2022 I grabbed to opportunity to focus myself on this music project for 2 months. I have been writing, recording and mastering my debut album called “Odes“ inclusing B-Side material from our tiny laundry room in Amsterdam.

the album was launched on November 1st via Spotify, Amazon, Apple and other platforms.

A special double vinyl edition made out of recycled waste collected from ocean waters, some live performances are planned for 2023. Each proceed will be donated to Ocean Clean Up.

Client Personal project

Growing up with friends and family working in the medical field I was surprised to learn how little people actually knew about the amount of hours these people put into their job, in the hopes of making a difference in someone else’s life. We owe a lot to these people and all the others who’re invisible but serve our society daily.

This project came to mind after we saw large groups of people criticizing medical staff in the media. I was surprised to learn that the actual heroes hardly get the recognition they deserve, in comparison to people who “think different”. Not to diminish the people featured in the famous Apple spot - but to raise a valid question: when does someone become an important figure? and how do we define important?

We knew that the Apple spot would serve as a vehicle for the idea, the only thing we needed to do was to launch a website and create social-media content in the hopes it would have a voice. And it did, through the support of the right influential people and their platforms we reached impressive results.

“Here's to the ordinary ones. The maintainers. The ones who do the dirty work and fix things. The teachers and cleaners, the waste collectors and nurses. Love this variation on the famous Apple 'Think Different' commercial.” — Rutger Bregman, Author of Utopia for Realists, Humankind

”Thank different. A beautiful take on Think Different.” — @petra_stienen, Member Dutch Senate D66

Client Nikon Worldwide

We were asked to introduce the new Nikon 1 to the European markets. And instead of creating a product/highlight campaign we found a simple route, “I AM ONE CLICK AHEAD”, that allowed us to roll out the campaign focussing on the main USP and explain a feature that was until that moment unheard of.

The Europe-wide introduction campaign of the new BMW C 400X resolves around the idea that when you drive around with the BMW scooter you’re able to connect more with your surroundings, in this case the urban jungle. Making the most of your commute.

In addition we created assets for the worldwide introduction at EICMA 2017 in Italy.

”BMW Motorrad sold more motorcycles and maxi scooters in 2017 than ever before. Compared to the previous year, deliveries increased by 13.2 %. As of December 2017 a total of 164,153 vehicles (previous year: 145,032 units) were supplied to customers.” — BMW Group

Client: Hyundai Motor Europe

To reach out to Automotive Press we announced the launch of the new i30 Fastback N along with the mention of a record attempt, racing from Rome to Paris. The challenge was picked up very well by the press, from TopGear Magazine to Auto Bild. All writing about the silly attempt. In the end we raced from Rom to Paris - in Denmark. With a little budget we were able to get the attention from the press, helping us to tease more about the upcoming launch of the new Fastback N.

“Instead of the planned launch at the Paris Motor Show, Hyundai already comes with a true world record race.” — TopGear

Client: VW

A Volkswagen is a loyal companion on four wheels. But it’s the people who turn a Volkswagen into an experience. This is why we decided to put people at the centre of this campaign.

Client: Hyundai Motor Europe

This campaign is all about sensors, cameras, radars and many other smart tech. And guess what? We made it human.

Humans are deeply sophisticated systems. And yet, we’re not perfect. That’s why Hyundai equipped all i-Range models with a package of techy stuff that looks out for you on the road. As this is quite a long story, we found a way to tell it in just two words: Human Ready.

Our launch film was built on a universal insight: the promises we all make before going on a journey. The ones we often make without even thinking.

While overcoming our own human flaws (first lockdown..) we still managed produce the campaign and break it into all channels. Social media edits, Insta Stories, banners, and even some good old print ads; making the campaign hard to miss across Europe.

When Hyundai introduced a range of high-performance cars under the name “Hyundai N”, instead of just making ads to promote them, the brand decided to put their money where their mouth is – and prove their performance on racing tracks all around the world.
