Gerhard Remlein

Global Group Director, Leadership, based in New York

Gerhard is a master architect of strategies, stories and experiences. But that wasn’t always his career goal. After high school, Gerhard pondered the idea of designing skyscrapers, but found himself more attracted to the study of communications. “I became fascinated with a different kind of architecture: the integration of structural, design and contextual aspects of brands with people’s needs and how they use them.”

Since then Gerhard has paved his own path in the world of brand building and team leading. By constantly seeking fresh perspectives and collaborating across diverse groups, he has helped major corporations win the hearts and minds of people around the world.

Gerhard came to us from BBDO, where his most recent position was global brand agency leader for a fully integrated team for Procter & Gamble—in addition to leading that client's environmental sustainability communications. Before that, Gerhard worked on global BBDO engagements with clients such as Duracell, Gillette and Masterfoods.

Born and raised in Germany, Gerhard holds an MA in communications, politics and advertising psychology from Ludwig-Maximilians Universität München.
