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. Currently based in Cologne & Munich (Germany), 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.
