About me

Patrick is a globally recognized creative leader with a career spanning across a wide range of global brands, including Sony Ericsson, Citroen, MTV, P&C, Emirates, VISA, and Deutsche Bank. A prodigy in both entrepreneurship and design, he founded a design company at just 16. After studying in London he went on to launch his advertising career at Saatchi & Saatchi. Followed by creative lead roles at Ogilvy, Havas, WEFRA and tech-start-up Wingcopter.

Pushing boundaries beyond traditional media, Patrick has crafted everything from high-profile collaborations - such as working with four-time Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel - to MTV-featured music videos and experimental interactive installations.

His work has earned over 400 international awards, including Cannes Lions, The One Show, Clio, Effies, and the New York Festivals. As ECD, he helped shape WEFRA into one of the most creative healthcare agencies in the DACH region. A respected voice in the industry, he has also served as a judge at major shows such as Cannes Lions, Eurobest, and EuroEffies.
Above all, his proudest achievement remains his role as a father to three daughters.
