Niko Willborn, 28

years in business (what kept me here read below)

At first, sorry for the bad responsive design. Adobe Portfolio is by far the worst website builder ever. In mobile version it just cuts off pictures without an offer to adjust them. And the button shouId be inside the frame 😖. I will move this site to webflow or unbounce soon.
Ok, back to me – so below you can see some lines about my great cv over the past 28 years. It all started in 1997...
...as intern doing mainstream ads in a big mainstream Reklame-Factory called Grey Düsseldorf, followed by a creative upgrade at DDB, where I joined the notorious Sony team, then went with the same people to found a dependance of Wensauer & Partner in Düsseldorf, changed the city to S&F Berlin, doing a lot MB automotive and fashion with Ex-Paradiset Diesel icon Joakim Jonason, travelled around the world for Emmi Caffe Latte from Rio to Tahiti with the little ad boutique Mackat, freelanced a lot for S&F Berlin, McCann, ressourcenmangel, then perm again for 3 years handling 6 clients and 1 splenic boss in Corona times at Römer Wildberger followed by another 3 years doing BVG at Strobinski. 
Now a free bird again enjoying family life and producing ideas and executions for an Anti-Nazi Drink (go get SEKKO SOZIALE for your next company parties and support EXIT Deutschland)
nature: finnish/german (with a touch of saarlandian and dutch through a pleasant stay at HBK Saar and HBK Maastricht) 
some clients: Adler Mode, AOK, B&B Hotels, BaWü, Berliner Zeitung, BMEL, BSR, BW Bank, BVG, Emmi, GASAG, Glashütte Original, hessnatur, Hochschule Offenburg, Mercedes Benz, rebuy, Morgenpost, Märkische Allgemeine, Opel (Pitch WIN!), Pulmoll, Sekko Soziale, Sony, Spielbank Berlin, SOS Kinderdörfer, TU Freiberg, visitBerlin, VW, Würth
influenced by: family, cats, Studio Dumbar, Kesselskramers, Francesca Albanese, Mohammed El-Kurd, Greta Thunberg, Nadia Zaboura, Nour Abu Aisha, Rene Redzepi, things happening on Neukölln streets, Omar El Akkad, Naom Chomsky, Kristin Helberg, Judith Scheytt, Hanno Hauenstein, Guardian. 
skills: creative cloud apps, producing and executing campaign ideas, looks, layouts, prepress, motion, headlining, no coding tools like webflow
Ki? yes, use it and may your prompt-words be well chosen! Otherwise you loose 3 days of your life lost in an artificial hell with 11 finger people and Jehovah's witnesses skies.
likes to do: cooking, family-time, gardening, food&wine, commensality, dj-ing, carpentry, repairing things
awards: yes, some, but to be honest, I don`t put too much weight in this. I think it`s much more important to perform well in the usual Tagesgeschäft. So one of these trophies could say "Cannes Gold for compressing a ton heavy keynote PDF, so the client can see it on his yacht."
kids: YES! (with superb Capoeira, math and tiktok dance skills)
social media trends: I got a secret direct channel to actual and upcoming flows. My daughters distract me with newest hot shit, when they are actually supposed to turn their mobiles off. 
age: please don`t ask. (actually too old for this here, but still having fun – and don`t worry, my kids support me with eternal youth power 🦄)
ability to teamwork: I think so. Please contact my recent 241 colleagues I loved working with. 
burn-out`s: I guess zero so far ... biohack: cooking (see here), release stress in soil, loud postpunk, cats and doing many things besides advertising.
why is this website in english? Berlin becomes more and more international, so that should be fine.
