ABOUT CARSTEN KINAST
I’m an experienced C-level professional with more than 30 years in the creative and digital industry, including 20 years as managing director of market leaders such as Ogilvy, Serviceplan and Dentsu. During this time, I had the chance to help build and shape brands like Canon, the AOK Federation, Honor, Nivea and Aldi. I’m now a strategy consultant helping companies to activate the full potential of their brand and products. I believe strategies must focus on human relationships. In times of constant change, perma-crises and rising demand for sustainable management, a company\'s success relies not only on product quality and it\'s marketing but on strong connections with employees, customers, partners and other stakeholders. I help companies become more attractive, relevant and successful by centering these relationships in brand and product strategies. The result: your company is experienced holistically and coherent and unlocks its full potential. In short, my work is about growth and change.My mantra is ‘Business Creativity’. Having worked in the creative and digital industries for over 20 years, I know that creativity is a driver for growth, value creation and change. I therefore combine entrepreneurial and strategic thinking with creativity. Creativity here does not mean something artistic. Rather, it is about the ability to break down traditional ways of thinking and principles in order to enable new perspectives and solutions. Or to create a culture of inspiration, openness and collaboration through behavior and the right communication techniques.I’m always happy to jump on a call for a good conversation. Just reach out.
