THOMAS KOCH

Hi! 안녕하세요 Bonjour! 你好! ¡Hola! こんにちは

My name is Thomas and I am an award winning creative with my background in art, design and computer science. In 2020 I was listed as one of the top 10 best Creative Directors worldwide in Lürzer’s Archive.

Overall I have over 16 years of experience in the advertising industry. I’m currently residing in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, working as a Creative Director at the international advertising agency Leo Burnett.

My job is not just something I „have to do”, it’s my passion and what I love. I get inspirations from my surroundings, especially from movies, comics and video games… or just walking around with eyes wide open. Helping other creatives to grow and pushing them to come up with their very best creative product is also extremely important for me - because I believe in good teams. Also, I’m a leader, not a boss. I firmly believe this is an essential criteria that makes a difference.

I worked for clients such as Samsung, Adidas, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, Adobe, Chanel, Montblanc, Ferrero, Cadillac, Accenture, Frankfurt Airport, Nescafé, Mazda Europe, The Coca-Cola Company, Media Markt, Jaegermeister, Swarovski, o2, Thomas Cook Airlines, Fleurop, Henkel, Commerzbank and many more Read Less
