Before his agency life Christian worked as a marketing manager for domestic and international Pop, Dance and Techno artists such as Peaches, Scooter and Brooklyn Bounce. Under Christian’s supervision, Brooklyn Bounce became Sony Music/Germany’s most successful national artist in 2001, a success for which he received a Gold Record. One year later, Christian became Head of Beat Department at Warner Music/Wea Germany. When the music industry’s downturn started, he decided to pass his salary, sell his car and his apartment and move back to his parent’s house in order to switch to another industry. He won a scholarship from the Miami Ad School and started after a successful graduation in 2005, his second career with Jung von Matt where he met Leif, and their joint creative romance began. Leif created various Internet projects for several years, from one of Germany’s biggest gaming networks with more than 8 million page impressions per month down to managing several affiliate marketing projects. Based on his experience and expertise on the digital field, Leif started off with Jung von Matt at the age of 19 and became the agency’s youngest employee at the time. Since 2010, Leif & Christian are teaching at the Miami Ad School, New York.
