Mark Lingk

I am Mark Lingk, a designer and art director from Hamburg.

For 10 years, I have been employed full-time at the German market leader for perfumes in the drugstore sector (entry-level price segment in the DACH region).

As the company environment includes numerous companies & brands, I have supported a wide variety of categories in recent years - from beauty and skin care to food and licensed products. This includes projects with ProSieben, RTL, RAF Camora, and Steffen Henssler, as well as brands from abroad looking to establish themselves in the German market (drugstore and food retail).

For years, we have been bringing food & non-food products for Steffen Henssler to market (Customers: Edeka, Höffner, Globus, Famila, REWE, Kaufland).

Through this, I have developed a very good understanding of what matters: authentic brand management, understandable claims, clear yet emotional packaging, a good feel for German consumers, and a presence that fits together across all channels (from packaging to POS to social).

I would like to contribute this experience on a freelance basis from July 2026 for startups & brands seeking support in Brand Identity, Packaging, POS, and Social/Digital Design.
