Head of Creative at Jimdo

About me

The world’s serious enough—let’s make communication fun and engaging. With over 20 years in advertising, I’ve honed my craft as a Creative, Copywriter, and Creative Director at some of the industry’s top agencies: Heimat/TBWA, Jung von Matt, Serviceplan, and Publicis. Today, I’m leading the in-house Creative Studio at Jimdo, blending agency expertise with in-house agility.

Brands I’ve shaped and earned awards for:
Das Handwerk, Loctite, Sixt, Spreequell, Sparkasse, McFit, Audi, Hornbach, BVG, and Das Erste.

Current Role:
Joining Jimdo to lead the Creative Studio was a big step—a chance to dive deep into the intersection of product and marketing. Jimdo is no longer just a website builder; it’s evolving into a business builder, equipping small business owners with the tools they need to transform ideas into reality. Our Creative Studio drives this transformation by crafting bold, multi-channel campaigns that inform, inspire, and entertain.
