Alex “Awesome” Aussem
is an award-winning creative director, interdisciplinary
creative and allround
conceptionist with 15 years
of experience, currently
based in Düsseldorf.
my work lies in creative direction, production, creative concepts, storytelling and worldbuilding. I’ve worked across several creative landscapes, from ad agencies, to television and branded entertainment to gaming and e-sports, shaping brands from multiple industries: telco, automotive, fmcg, retail to politics and beyond. I’m driven by the constant search for the next cool idea and I believe in “sequins are forever”, “empathy is power” and “embrace the cringe”.
