I’m Mario Zaradic, a Creative Director with over 15 years of experience at creative agencies in Germany and abroad. I develop holistic ideas for global and local campaigns and execute them in style.
I have an eye for beauty, detail and future visions, a brain for storytelling that moves needles, a passion for making work, places and people the best they can be, and a belief in the power of emotion to drive business and growth. Over the years, I’ve applied this mix across a wide range of products, platforms and channels—nationally & internationally, hands-on & as a leader, in German & English—to both revenue-growing and award-winning effect.
Looking ahead, I want to keep pushing the boundaries of film, design and technology to create meaningful connections with audiences — whether it's for brands, agencies, production companies, or just for fun.
