Marlon von Franquemont is a Dutch Executive Creative Director with nearly two decades of experience leading creative work across Europe. He’s collaborated with agencies like Jung von Matt, 180 Amsterdam, and VCCP Berlin, developing campaigns for brands including Mercedes-Benz, Nikon, Mini, eBay, and The Anne Frank House.
At the heart of Marlon’s work is a belief that creativity should serve people — not just platforms or products. He focuses on building human-centered ideas that resonate deeply, ensuring that what people see, hear, or experience feels meaningful and real. Projects like Printed by Parkinson’s helped shift how the medical field looks at design, using creativity as a tool for empathy and healing. And in Tremors vs Tremors, a collaboration with UCL, he explored how data and art could work together to support Parkinson’s patients in ways traditional treatments can’t.
He’s received more than 180 international awards, including Cannes Lions, D&AD Pencils, Webby’s and Effies, but believes the real test of a project is whether it moves people — or changes something. Alongside his agency work, he teaches at creative schools like Miami Ad School Europe and Willem de Kooning Academy, mentoring the next generation of creative thinkers.
