"Chris knows what a brand needs to have to perform in marketing."

"When I tell people about Chris I always struggle to really nail what he does. He is kinda a concept creative with great strategic knowledge, or an art director, a brand Designer, experience designer … it’s hard to define. And that is a good thing.

Because he is so skilled and comfortable in all areas of brand and communication… he can truly understand brand. He knows what a brand needs to have to perform in marketing … because he is experienced in marketing. He had to deal with all challenges within the journey of brand building. And therefore can approach the topic fully holistic. On top of that, he is a damn nice human being."

About

Hi–I’m Chris
My mission is to assist founders in achieving long-term success by establishing a strong brand right from the start.

Brand Builder
& Founder

In the last ten years, I have observed the significant influence of establishing a strong brand from the beginning. On the other hand, I have also witnessed the consequences of rebranding after scaling. The resources, both in terms of time and money, needed for rebranding are often immense. Moreover, there is a possibility that founders may not even have the opportunity to rebrand if they lack sufficient momentum right from the start.

Therefore, I founded "sooner" with the goal of assisting founders in establishing a strong brand correctly from the start, in a fast and cost-efficient way.

I have learned at leading agencies like Jung von Matt, R/GA, TBWA, and have worked for top-tier clients such as Google, Nike, and Mercedes. More recently, I worked for BCG Digital Ventures, where I contributed to launching and scaling numerous digital products and companies.

As the Co-Founder of FANtium, I am not just a Brand builder but also an entrepreneur who has experienced firsthand the challenges and triumphs of launching a startup as a Founder.
