SquareEnix, Acer, Samsung and many other world-class brands: Let es help you grow your business! About me: I am a father of twins who is passionate about technology. I started my professional career as an editor reviewing computer and video game software at the end of the ’80s. In search of a change of pace, I shifted to product management and marketing in the ’90s. My time as a marketing Director during that time renewed my passion for marketing to this day. My passion remains in Games and Tech and to help people grow their business and awareness through contemporary marketing strategies at all touch points of the customer journey. I have more than 22 years of experience as an entrepreneur under my belt. My first venture in entrepreneurship was the start of my very first Agency, Indigo Pearl, in 2001. It soon became the leading Communications agency for Video Games & Consumer Electronics. Then, I merged Indigo Pearl into a bigger Agency: DELASOCIAL. DELASOCIAL was sold to a Private Equity and became part of the biggest digital Agency Group in Germany, PIA Group. To this day, I am a shareholder of the PIA group. In between I also co-founded a browser Games company and then sold it. Also, around 2008 I co-founded a video game financing business to help Entrepreneurs get funding for video games development. Since 2018 MSM.digital and now on top as our holding 1SP Agency as the mothership of MSM.digital, INSIGHT, FLZR, Studio CO2, RenaissancePR, New Fluence, X Tools AG (promoPers) and what's to come.

  • Founder / Managing Director at DELASOCIAL GmbH
    Jun 2013 - Dec 2017 · 4 yrs 7 mos

    DELASOCIAL is one of the most well-known digital communications & strategy agencies in Germany. DELASOCIAL is a result of merger between indigo pearl and massklusive. At DELASOCIAL I was focused on tech, gaming, entertainment, and VR/AR. Under my watch, DELASOCIAL got ranked as number 2 best agency in terms of billings, in Germany, in the respective field. Six months after I started, I was part of the team that let DELASOCIAL into a trade sale to Equistone Partners, a private equity fund, as part of the newly formed Performance Interactive Alliance Holding (PIA Group). I was a member of PIA’s management team, and still am a shareholder. PIA is one of the leading digital marketing holdings with more than 1000 employees.
