In my own words

Johann

I'm never afraid to get my hands dirty making something beautiful.

I have built advertising agencies, and production companies, made friends and created family, directed films and painted pictures, surfed waves and ridden motorcycles, sailed oceans and climbed pyramids, sung songs, prayed prayers and dreamed dreams. I live to create experiences for myself and others.

As an international creative director I lead global campaign initiatives for many of the world’s prestigious brands. I have disrupted and interrupted enough. Now I’m focused on shaping the human experience as the future of healthy and meaningful communications between brands, organizations and people.

STRATEGIC CREATIVE DIRECTION for ideation, audiovisual storytelling, design and execution of experiences, campaigns and activations to powerfully transform people, organizations, brands and agencies within quickly changing techno-socio systems.

TEAM LEADERSHIP and inspiration of large tribes of diverse personalities in deadline driven environments. Mentoring employee career development. Leading cross-functional collaboration by leveraging innovative best practices. Developing industry outreach opportunities and planting the agency flag in new territories.

CLIENT STEWARDSHIP that expresses our tribe’s values driven relationships while delivering compelling, memorable activations that evolve brand-to-human relationships, grow awareness, earn loyalty & build trust.
