Francis is a French creative director based in Germany for many years now. Copywriter at heart, with studies in history as a background and parallel activities as a style, food and music journalist, he has worked in several agencies between Paris, Hamburg and Berlin, most notably at Springer & Jacoby, DDB, VMLY&R, Grabarz & Partner and more recently Media.Monks.
His international work for brands like VW, Telekom, MINI, Porsche or Eurowings has gained a few industry recognitions (New York Festivals, One Show, ADC, Le Club des Directeurs Artistiques…) but most importantly from his family, who always has been his toughest and most respected judge.
He believes that creativity only happens when you have build a trustful relationship with your client. A client you need to hear, understand and respect, because at the end, he/she will always know his/her product better than advertisers. And this is what he is still trying to achieve with his current clients at Scholz & Friends Hamburg. p> His international work for brands like VW, Telekom, MINI, Porsche or Eurowings has gained a few industry recognitions (New York Festivals, One Show, ADC, Le Club des Directeurs Artistiques…) but most importantly from his family, who always has been his toughest and most respected judge.
Francis is married and father of one. When he is not working, he is an outside hitter on the volleyball court, a baroque violin player, an ambient music composer or even a road cyclist. All things that keep him inspired, even on the weekends.
