Clemens Kandziora, 35, joins the Berlin-based creative agency The Goodwins as its new creative director copy. He joins from Check24, where as in-house creative he oversaw one of Germany’s most visible campaigns, “The Incomparable Show”, across all channels. Before moving to the corporate side, Clemens Kandziora gained many years of experience at various renowned agencies: He worked at Thjnk (Hamburg and Munich), where his client list included Ikea, Paulaner, Commerzbank, Haribo and McDonald's. In particular, he was also responsible for the Bionade campaign “Weil ehrlich gut” (Because honestly good), which contributed significantly to the comeback of the cult brand. Other stations included Philipp und Keuntje, Serviceplan and Springer & Jacoby.

Tim Stübane, Partner Creation and co-founder of The Goodwins: “We are happy to have Clemens join the team at The Goodwins. He will primarily be creative for our client Stihl, for whom we are taking on more and more work. Our role as global lead agency for Stihl requires even more attention in the future in order to maintain or increase our creative standards.”
