Christian Kroll
Managing Creative Director
Scholz & Friends Hamburg GmbH

HAMBURG, GERMANY // I‘m on fire for brands and emotional storytelling in every channel you can think of. I believe in developing innovative solutions creating a dialogue between brands and their audiences and I love to explore new digital customer experiences. Apart from helping the talented people around me, I develop integrated global campaigns with a digital first approach just like local market activations or daring, tailormade solutions. Whatever I do, it’s always my goal to break through and truly connect with the customers. I have been shaping brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Nikon, NBC 13th Street, IWC and Lufthansa.

Currently, I‘m working at Scholz & Friends Hamburg taking care of the national McDonald’s account. As Creative Managing Director, I am responsible for the creative output always striving for the best creative solution there is!

As a proud member of the ADC Germany, I am a constant part of the film jury for years and have been a part of the NY Festivals jury, the Mobius Awards jury, the Young Directors Awards jury at Cannes and many more. My work has been rewarded with more than 333 national and international recognitions including a Grand Prix at the NY Festivals, Gold at Cannes and Gold at the Lovie Awards. I‘m married with two kids but no pets.
