About me

I am a creative producer currently focusing on experiential marketing and brand partnerships. My summarised background: performing musician turned music promoter, switched to full-time digital marketing during the pandemic, developed my role in experiential marketing and partnerships once events started again. Through The Sponsorship Agency, I currently work with clients such as Red Bull, Ray-Ban, BMW, Netflix, Pernod Ricard, Adidas and Electronic Arts, serving those brands with activation ideas for music festivals in Europe. I consider myself a curious person who's excited about meeting people with fresh ideas. If you'd like to say hi, pop an email at stefan@thesponsorship.agency
