Holger Lindhardt

Since January 2020 Group Creative Director at BrightHouse, a Boston Consulting Group company. BrightHouse is a global creative consultancy that help move organizations and create positive societal impact.

At the beginning of 2019 – after Opel left Scholz & Friends – I decided to work independently after more than 20 years of permanent employment. My first assignment was for a creative consultancy. There I worked for many months on the purpose communication and mobilization of the organization for companies.

Moved as an Executive Creative Director to Scholz & Friends to manage the agency’s biggest account Opel International and new business. Creator of the new visual identity for Germany's largest department store.

Started as Creative Director and managed a unit of more than 30 employees and rose to Executive Creative Director. Worked for the creative cult brand Astra Bier and received numerous creative awards for that. Managed the Jägermeister brand for over 10 years and turned it into a cult drink for a younger target group – and won a Golden efficiency award for that. Worked for 10 years for the agency's second biggest account Telekom. Other main accounts: Audi, Playboy, Bärenmarke, BiFi, Blackberry, NewYorker.

Worked in the early years of that young and up-coming top creative agency and was promoted to Group Head Art after one year. Major accounts: Jever Beer, Volkswagen Service, Jet Gas Station and Schiesser Fashion.

Started as a Junior Art Director and was promoted to Art Director in less than a year. Had the great opportunity to work with the Dutch creative legend Jan van Meel and soon received the first creative awards for Handelsblatt, the leading German Business Newspaper. Major accounts: Handelsblatt, RTL and LBS.
