Thank you Philipp! You were very fast in getting up to speed in our project. Your articles and copy gave a very authentic voice to our employees and executives.
Dr. Olaf Petersen, Deutsche Bahn, Leiter Grundsätze Führungskräfte-/ Mitarbeiterentwicklung, Performance Management (Konzernleitung)
I have been working with Philipp for 2 years on several sponsored campaigns with the biggest advertising clients in Germany, across the market. He is highly reliable and flexible, going with the pace of our clients’ needs. I was highly satisfied with the quality of his work at all times and so were the clients reaching their marketing campaign KPIs.
Aneta Nowobilska, Upday, CRO
It was a great pleasure to work with Philipp. He is a fantastic copywriter and editor and has a great sense for business. I can highly recommend to work with him.
Marc Clemens, CodeControl, CEO & Founder
One of the things Philipp has impressed us with over the years of our collaboration is that he can get the best out of a story. He dives deep into a topic, uncovers its core und tells a captivating story about it. That is true for less than captivating topics, too. Discussing content and feedback with Philipp has always lead to something good in the end, often to more than we initially expected.
Dirk Nolde, Head of Axel Springer Brand Studio
I was amazed by Philipp’s skill to adapt to our brand's tone & voice. With his understanding of language and target audience he overdelivered on his brief. I love working with him as he is fun and super collaborative on the needs.
