Group Creative Director at Grabarz & Partner lives in “the best city in the world” – Hamburg – even if he does have to escape its incessant rain
Tobias Ahrens is a Group Creative Director at Hamburg-based Grabarz & Partner, the Independent Agency of the Year at Eurobest 2017. When he’s not overseeing the creation of cutting-edge work for the likes of Volkswagen and Burger King though, you might find him hiding from the Hamburg rain playing PlayStation or escaping it all together somewhere sunny with his family. We’re hazarding a bet that he’s also a bit of a Star Wars nerd.
Get to him know him more via his Essential List.
