Services

Marketing Lead

Looking for an interim head of marketing for your organization? I had been marketing director for several e-commerce brands and startups and I’m more than happy to support your growth, branding efforts, or campaign management. I’m 100% data-driven, a great team player familiar with managing small as well as 6-digit budgets, agencies or C-level stakeholders.
Analytics & Data

As a certified GA4 expert I can help set up a consistent KPI framework, build your next channel performance reporting, think or optimize your attribution model, and come up with key action points to optimize your campains… Long story short, data is what I love! So don’t say we are not ready yet, even with little amount of data we can get you immediate value for your company.
PMO / Account

Ex-Publicis Group Account Director, I have successfully managed global clients like Lufthansa, Michelin, Nissan, Nivea, Dior, Louis Vuitton. Pitching, making budget and forecast is what I love. But I love even more to get hands dirty and take over the project manager role: project and resources planning, lead the weekly project review, setup action trackers and run productive meetings!
Hubspot + Braze

I’m a certified Hubspot Expert and have implemented several CRM strategies yet. Why Hubspot? Well, I believe it is the most flexible tool I have seen with hundreds of APIs and a monster-size knowledge database. But moreover it has a strong vision at its core: everyone in the company needs to have a customer-centric mindset. Braze is the customer engagement platform I love to use to build true dialogue with customers.

What do people say about me

I had the pleasure of working together with Tillmann for over a year. He is everything you would look for in a client service director as well as an outstanding team player. We managed several clients together, not only successfully but always with a lot of fun. Handling client relations, keeping calm in challenging times while always keeping a good mood and protecting the team – he makes a rewarding lead that you will miss enormously as soon as you don’t have him anymore.

Tillmann Kühn has been a great Client Partner for Nissan Center Europe and I recommend him highly to any company looking for a real leader in Digital Marketing.

It is simply a pleasure to work with Tillmann, his professional manner, his know how, his language skills, his dependability and personality all combine into a package which is hard to beat. I look forward to working with Tillmann again and would do so in a heartbeat.

Sr. Marketing Communications Leader at INNIO

I had the pleasure of working with Tillman when he managed the LVMH digital business at ZenithOptimedia. His unique combination of a no-fail attitude and his creative experience from Razorfish, enabled us to create out-of-the-box digital campaigns for his LVMH clients. I hope we have a chance to collaborate again in the future.

Tillmann is one of those rare managers who also naturally serves as an inspiring mentor for the whole staff. Tillmann exhibits strong interpersonal skills and a unique capacity for empathy. These qualities most notably translate in his ability to motivate a team to care about their project and be invested in the project’s success.

Working with Tillman has been an amazing experience – he has vast experience in marketing and CRM strategy combined with a ‘get-it-done’ attitude and an ability to work as a team as well as independently. A true marketing professional!
