About Christian

Even the best story can sometimes be as heavy as an elephant. To make it fly, it needs to shed ballast. With a little help, it can take off. I help to tell stories simply and understandably. Let the elephant float. That's my thing. That's why I founded my own agency:

c.icking | Communication. Media. PR.

From here, I primarily work remotely. For special tasks and challenges, I am flexible in terms of time and location.

In many years as a journalist, I have learned to uncover the core of a message and formulate it concisely. As a long-time head of communications for a strong business association, I know how to best place stories in the public eye. I draw on a tightly woven network of contacts in media, business, and society.

I am a member of the German Public Relations Association (DPRG) and the Association of Business Journalists (WPV).

Do you need several good people at once? Then I am happy to assemble an individual team of experts in text, photo, video, graphics, or audio.
