About Jens

I'm a creative generalist who spent over a decade at Jung von Matt, Germany's most awarded agency. There I worked as what they called a "one-person team" – a Swiss Army knife handling projects from concept to final delivery across AI film production, art direction, motion design, editing, 3D, UX/UI, and vibe coding.

What sets me apart: End-to-end execution. No briefing ping-pong between departments. One point of contact who understands the entire pipeline – and delivers. Pitch on Friday, assets on Monday? Done it countless times.

New ideas come daily – for AI films, social media, campaigns, tech activations. Cultural knowledge paired with technical execution. Knowing what works online and why separates good from viral.

Teams or direct clients, both work. Speaking the language of copywriters, designers, developers, and producers comes natural – because I've done their jobs.

Clients: BMW, BMW Esports, Domino's Pizza, Mercedes-Benz, Vodafone, EDEKA, Huawei

Awards: Webby (Winner), ADC Silver, Deutscher Digital Award Gold, Red Dot, One Show
