Moritz Köllinger
Frank is best described as a jack of all trades in communication. He and his team delivered written content, outlines, scripts, ad texts, social media posts and even signange for all departments of the company - no matter if B2C, B2B or internal use. He quickly adapts to new challenges and aims for the best results possible. He builds his teams with foresight - having scalability and high output in mind.
