About

Gün is an Executive Creative Director for the digital space.

Born/raised in the darkest black-forest, this turkish/german breed went into hosting radio shows, art battles and poetry slams for years. He went on to start a career in film production producing music videos, TVCs and branded documentaries for brands like Wrigley’s, Red Bull and McDonald’s.

In 2009 he switched sides and went to Jung von Matt to create digital work for Nike and Mercedes-Benz. Simple hacks and a few awards for Nike Catch the Flash later he joined HEIMAT/tbwa in Berlin to lead their digital shop VRTKL for clients such as HORNBACH, adidas, CNN or Google.

Gazillion digital activations, social media strategies and especially branded entertainment campaigns later, Gün had a second thought on being a creative in 2016. He teamed up with Germany’s most famous TV host (Joko Winterscheidt) and one of the biggest actors in the country (Matthias Schweighöfer) to found CC15, a custom made agency for branded entertainment. Gün more or less lived the dream of every creative ever. He wrote series and shows for brands, channels and VOD heavyweights.

But when homeland called and Gün realized that Baden-Württemberg ist stemming the whole Länderfinanzausgleich, he knew it was time to go back where it all started. Gün joined Jung von Matt/Neckar as an ECD/MD and led the teams into battles to win #THELÄND, to win SXSW and to unfold their wings of power.

Today Gün is back in Berlin. Why? Because one of his favourite clients, Mercedes-Benz asked him to join their custom made antoni_ garage to lead another team into the battle. A battle of great digital campaigns, restructuring communicative structures, diving into diversity and of course winning.

Gün is also a certified hunter (deer and stuff), a certified lifeguard (literally like Baywatch) and a dad of three boys. He is a member to the German ADC, judges the SXSW interactive awards and frequently holds speeches and lectures at the likes of Miami Ad School, Daimler AG and Lufthansa.

Gün has only written one single TVC in his career. It’s the forbidden one for Mercedes-Benz: Adolf. It worked. So does Gün.
