About Johannes

Marketing professional with over 20 years of experience in agencies, companies, and as an entrepreneur – from brand building, classic advertising, and digital transformation to performance optimization.

I master the entire marketing spectrum: from positioning, campaign strategy, and content to data-driven funnel management. My goal: to create impact – visible, measurable, scalable.


In parallel, I built a successful art brand under the label Johannes Weinsheimer Photography – with a distinctive style, international exhibition activities, and buyers in Europe, North America, and Asia.


As a Marketing Leader or Manager, I bring strategy and execution together. I increasingly rely on AI-supported tools to accelerate processes, target audiences more precisely, and combine creative excellence with data-based control.


I am looking for exciting projects as an Interim Marketing Manager or Leader where I can profitably contribute my strategic and operational experience in classic advertising, brand management, digital scaling, and performance marketing.
