Christoph has worked in branding, design and marketing for more than 20 years; his clients benefit from his enormous breadth and depth of knowledge. The foundation of Christoph’s work is a strategic understanding of brands and their competitive landscape so his work is always based on a solid commercial plan. Before founding Grain in 2002, he worked at leading consultancies such as Landor, Pentagram and Siegel+Gale. Christoph gained his insights through working with large corporate brands like Tesco, Costa, Sunglass Hut, Sony Playstation and Qantas and loves to bring this knowhow to work hard for new market entrants such as Button & Wilde, Agoy, Spring Bank and Floreon.
Originally from Hanover, Germany, Christoph holds a degree in Management, Economics and Politics from the University of St Andrews, and an MA in Industrial Design from Central Saint Martins, UAL. He loves living at the end of the tube line. It means London’s inspiration is always within easy reach and the escape to the beautiful English countryside is not far either. Christoph has a lifelong passion for traveling with his family and combines his travels with skiing and surfing whenever possible.
You don’t need a logo, you need a brand. You don’t want any old brand — you want an icon and a brand leader of the future. We are a specialist London based branding agency, working with clients from across the world, that understands brand strategy and we apply it intelligently to the design and development process. We work through in detail the emotional and rational aspects of target market purchase decision factors and ensure the processes our designers apply, reflect and build on those factors.
Brands encompass a lot more than the design of a logo and related corporate identity. They include every touchpoint the target market experiences; that includes packaging design, website design, and print. Good branding means getting everything right. At Grain Creative we specialise in the development of brands your target markets will love. We also develop the guidelines which your marketing and brand managers will cherish!
