About Tim

Awarded with various international and national creative awards and with about 25 years of experience in brand communication, I offer storytelling for brands: whether copy, concept, consulting or creative direction.

My focus is on positive change in society, politics, and the impact economy. I have a crush on products that need explanation and also on brand experiences. I love B2B and believe that excellent communication can be achieved on any channel and for any target group.

I gladly advise and support brands with corporate storytelling for communication coherence. I firmly believe in new narratives and formats in communication in an ever-faster spinning world between AI and new players in markets and media. In view of the challenges in the transformation of our society and our economy, the spread of fake news, and media overload, I stand for the core competence of the brand: trust.

I am part of Team Positiv and enjoy working with and for people. Ideas and passion change the world!
