Outside the agency Marjorieth is a passionate activist in the fight against breast cancer – having successfully beat the illness herself. A Pink Ribbon Germany Ambassador, she helps others to detect tumors in time and lends support and assistance to those undergoing therapy. These experiences inspired her (and partners) to found “Fuck it I’m Alive” – an organization which shares inspirational portraits of breast cancer survivors. The organization raises awareness for the fact that breast cancer can affect both women and men while also providing motivation and strength for those living with the condition.
While personal experiences helped her grow, Marjorieth’s professional experience has made her a great creative leader. While studying in the US at the Miami Ad School, she was part of Leo Burnett Chicago. There she focused on the growing Hispanic market, working for brands such as, Disney, The Coca-Cola Company, McDonald’s, and Toys?us. Marjorieth won advertising awards early on in her career, opening the door to agencies in Europe like BBH and Fallon in London, and Jung von Matt in Hamburg – where she decided to stay.
Marjorieth has guided creative work for global brands such Audi, Lamborghini Worldwide, Deutsche Telekom, Citroen, Deutsche Bank, and was Global Creative Director for fashion brand, C&A at Grey, before she became ECD at Heimat-TBWA in Germany; she was in charge of over 64 different brands from Henkel/ Schwarzkopf World Wide, prior to becoming CCO at Philipp und Keuntje.

She believes in care, inside and out. This gave birth to her love for fashion and sports. Describing herself as a “Hybrid Creative”, Marjorieth sees social media as a tool that’s part of our everyday lives. She also enjoys experimenting with AI and making all of her kids’ dreams come true.
