Marketing Director / Creative Strategy & Consulting / Brand Management / Management Consultant

Hi, I’m Tanja - Creative Strategist & Innovation Partner.

Strategy isn’t a static document; it’s a living system. For over 18 years, I have been building brands at the intersection of Creative Strategy, Planning, and Digital Innovation. My approach is inherently hybrid: I interweave Strategy, Creation, and Project Management to ensure that bold ideas actually make it to the finish line without losing their impact.

I am a strategist and planner at heart, with deep digital expertise gained from both the agency world and complex corporate environments. For large-scale or complex campaigns, I leverage my handpicked network of specialists. This allows me to scale rapidly and deliver high-impact results with the efficiency of a boutique powerhouse - offering the depth of a large agency without the overhead.

Where I add the most value:

Creative Strategy & Planning: I define the "why" and the "how." I develop brand positionings and campaign architectures that are bold, human, and rooted in data-driven insights.

Complex Campaign Implementation: By combining my strategic lead with a curated team of experts, I can steer and implement complex, multi-channel campaigns efficiently, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to execution.

Creative AI Transformation: I treat AI as a strategic sparring partner. I show teams how to integrate Generative AI into their workflows to accelerate ideation, prototype faster, and scale content while maintaining the brand’s unique identity.

Digital Ecosystem Architecture: My background is deeply digital. I design ecosystems that leverage technology, from AI-powered personalization to complex content strategies, ensuring every touchpoint adds value.

Hybrid Leadership: While my focus is on the "what" and "why," I bring the "how" through my secondary expertise in project management. I act as the bridge between senior stakeholders and creative teams.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of leading strategic shifts for icons like Google, Audi, eBay, Accenture, Unilever, Beiersdorf, and IKEA. Whether I am acting as a Senior Consultant, Team Lead, or Strategic Sparring Partner, my focus is always on creating measurable impact through digital-first thinking.As a lecturer and consultant, I am passionate about demystifying the digital future. I help companies and agencies move past the hype of "new tech" and show them how to use tools like Creative AI to gain a genuine competitive edge.

Let’s connect and explore how we can use bold strategy and intelligent technology to make your brand future-ready.
