„I believe more in Nike than in God. That’s why I’m in advertising.“

My Origin Story

I became a copywriter when I realized I believe more in Nike than in God. And before I became a copywriter, I was a martial artist using the power of Nike ads and their taglines as mantras to push myself to the edge (thank you for everything, Kobe).

So, and here is the crazy thing about it. The power of a brand brought me to 5 World Wushu Championships – if you don’t know what Wushu is: It’s that crazy Chinese martial arts where people jump and twist and seem to fight the air.

Nowadays I ask myself, can I impact people’s lives with ads, too? I guess only time can tell. And maybe KPI’s and creative awards. Meanwhile I'll get more inspiration from anime, manga, games, movies and sports. Want to know the details? Then hit me up.
