Very pleased to be part of this very big production! The all new image campaign developed by BrinkertLück Creatives for the two airports of Leipzig and Dresden in Germany.

It's been a pleasure to see the brand come ’alive’ with people enjoying the event and kids wearing beanies and coats showing the brand. Enjoy! Lead-Agency: KNSK Brand Design: Thomas Thiele

Probably a once-in-a-life-time situation! Absolutely thankful for having the chance of concepting and developing an on- and off-air redesign for one of the leading European TV broadcasters. The ZDF from Germany. In a nutshell the design-concept was: How can a brand redesign be more credible and convincing as if it comes directly from the brand? Hardly, I would say. "The ZDF Circle" was born and changed the entire communication of the ZDF on every channel. Simply once-in-a-life-time. Enjoy!

For an international football star there are several options to announce his own retirement. Some trust in publishing an uninspired press release or doing an interview – others believe in giving inglorious and tearful press conferences.

Very pleased and honored to announce the launch of „Höwedes out“. A new production together with Benedikt Höwedes announcing his retirement.

In my very first year as a trainee in an agency I had the chance to join a team which was working for SPD party. It was the year when there was Bundestagswahl to elect the next Bundeskanzler in Germany. All major parties identified the political centre to be the spot where the decision falls. It happens to be the SPD as the socialist party in the race to claim the red color for themselves and it also happens that the red color is placed right in the middle of the German flag. So to me the idea was too simple to not make it: "The centre in Germany is red." Btw: The SPD won the election back then. Creative concept / Art direction: Thomas Thiele Client: SPD Lead Agency: KNSK
