Thomas Kolster

I advise and assist businesses & non-profits on how to turn environmental, societal and health risks into market opportunities where growing the bottom line goes hand in hand with creating a better planet – and a more genuine, purposeful brand. When you show care towards people and what they care about; people will care about you.

In my book “Goodvertising”, through articles and as an experienced keynote speaker I advocate for change and why we are forced to alter the current business and advertising landscape in a more responsible direction and how creative communication solutions have a pivotal role to play in creating a better future for businesses, people and planet.

This year I was dubbed “Inspirational Leader” by The Huffington Post. I've been invited to judge several international communication award shows such as the D&AD, EACA Care Award, Creative Circle Award, Cristal Awards, Creative Conscience Awards and EthicMark Award. Furthermore, I'm a regular contributor to The Guardian and several other global business and advertising publications.
