Hello!
Hi, I’m Josh! Creative Director based in Hamburg.
I’ve been working in the advertising industry for almost 20 years, developing international campaigns for brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, PUMA, Audible and ALDI.
My work spans from strategic thinking to hands-on creative execution — always with a focus on strong ideas, clear storytelling and high craft.
Over the years, I’ve led teams, built brands and created work that not only performs, but resonates.

I revel in a creative challenge. I always look for projects which stretch my abilities, take me out of my comfort zone, and teach me new things.
I hold a diploma in Communication Design and started my career on the design side before joining Texterschmiede to become a copywriter.
For the past 10 years, I’ve been leading creative teams, combining strategic thinking with strong conceptual work.
