About Matthias

I help companies think about marketing from strategic foundation to consistent implementation – with a focus on marketing strategy, brand management, and employee marketing.

With over 15 years of marketing experience (around 12 full-time), I have supported brands at both corporate and medium-sized levels: as Marketing Manager at TÜV Rheinland Akademie, in brand communication for Nissan Germany, and in automotive marketing for SEAT. The Nissan after-sales campaigns earned the team the German Brand Award (2022 & 2024) and the German Design Award (2024).

The approach: think first, then act – but then act consistently. Strategic clarity (positioning, target groups, channel strategy) combined with tangible implementation in content, social media, website, and SEO.

A special focus is on employee marketing and employer branding: the shortage of skilled workers is the most expensive problem for many companies – here I bring brand and campaign expertise to where it has a measurable impact.

Substantive expertise is not just an aspiration: Bachelor of Marketing (Grade 1.9) and top of the year at IHK Cologne.

For a reliable assessment, a brief project description with goals and timeframe is sufficient – the feedback will come with a concrete proposal.
