About Stephan
For more than 14 years, I have been working as a freelance communications and marketing specialist. During this time, I have led major projects for brands such as Nestlé, Paramount+, and Amazon. I specialize in the entertainment sector (streaming, gaming, and technology), but I also have strong experience in food and fitness.
From April 2021 to September 2023, I served as German Lead Community Manager for Amazon Prime Video, where I managed more than 20 million fans across all platforms. After that, I moved to Paramount+ as Lead Creative.
I am currently working as Senior Social Media Manager at a French streaming service, where I built all German social media channels from scratch within two years. Today, we run the most active social media channels in our sector.
