I’m Marius, class of 92, born in a small German town. At the age of 18, I threw myself into the cold and deep end by moving to a city of millions without knowing anyone. This experience helped me find my creativity and gain perspective on life. My passion is — bringing ideas to life and telling stories that wouldn’t exist without me. I consider myself a creative, always optimistic, and (perhaps) quite funny guy with a penchant for nostalgia. I enjoy football (no, it will never be called Soccer!), honest guitar music, epic movies with a raw message, foreign cuisines, and exploring and immersing myself in new places and cultures. I appreciate aesthetic things. The values that are most important to me are honesty and loyalty. Primarily based in Munich with frequent stays in Cologne (Germany). Open to working worldwide.
All we have is what we give and what we — create.
From 2012 to 2023, I built up and managed several companies and projects in various industries. These included a marketing and event agency, a fashion label, a fancy bar, a fine dining restaurant, and tattoo and piercing studios with a total of almost 100 employees. Today, I still work partly as a managing partner in these companies, but mainly as a freelance creative director under the guise of my creative agency „whatever creative“. I love giving free rein to my creativity every day and constantly challenging and developing myself. However, I am also enthusiastic about new business ideas. My expertise lies in graphic design, concept and brand development, as well as business creation and problem-solving. I am loyal, hardworking, resilient, and prefer to work unconventionally but seriously.
