Back to original languageAbout Jan
Freelance Copywriter & Creative Director from Hamburg. Over 20 years of experience. 100+ awards. Countless campaigns, concepts, and ideas. For start-ups, NGOs, companies, and brands.
I started my career in advertising in the classic way: as an outsider. After studying sociology, psychology, and economics and a brief stint in the marketing department of a cosmetics company, I entered the advertising world in 2004. As an intern at Ogilvy & Mather in Frankfurt.
After that, I also worked my way up geographically. From Junior Copywriter at TBWA in Düsseldorf to Creative Director at GGH MullenLowe in Hamburg. I have been working as a freelancer since 2018.
Over time, I have worked for numerous small and large brands. Across all media, all industries, and all styles. From classic to digital. From quiet to loud. From pork belly to goosebumps.
For my work, I have won more than 100 national and international awards – including 12 Cannes Lions alone for "Rechts gegen Rechts".
