Florestan. Is that your real name? Never heard

that before. Reminds me of Kazakhstan. Or Uzbekistan.

Is it French, actually?

It’s definitely not Florian. Ideally also not Flo or Flo Rida. Or Flowerstan. Or Flor. My girlfriend calls me Jeff, but that’s a different story.

In any event - Hi!

I appreciate you checking out my projects or scrolling through them absentmindedly. Here, I’d like to share some words about the person behind the campaigns.

I work bilingually; I write, think, talk, and present in my mother tongue German and my stepmother tongue English. My studies in Literature and English set me up for a career in advertising, which started at Miami Ad School Berlin. After interning at TBWA New York and McCann Madrid, I eventually came back to Berlin which is where I am - and will be - based in the near future.

At the beginning of 2022, just short of 5 eventful years at BBDO Berlin, I decided to embark on an adventure in the startup world. As Creative Director for the Web3-company LimeWire I launched and grew the brand creatively. While I really appreciated this new and very different experience, I did miss the ad agency world. So, now I’m back agency-side as a Creative Director at Dentsu Creative Berlin.

My campaigns have been recognized at award shows, such as e.g. Cannes, D&AD, ADC, Clio, One Show, or New York Festival. One even became part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art.
