Brand collaborations

A collector's eye. A marketer's instinct. Content that makes writing impossible to ignore.

From the first idea to the final edit, I create Reels, short-form video, photography, carousel posts and campaign concepts — for your brand channels, the Follow My Pen audience or both.

Case study 01 · Global short-form

A visual hook that earned a continuing collaboration.

I developed the creative concept and produced short-form films for Montblanc's official TikTok and YouTube Shorts channels, later extended through collaborative Instagram Reels.

Macro detail, ASMR sound and clear product integration delivered strong retention, engagement and follower growth. The performance led to the collaboration continuing.

Case study 02 · European ambassadorship

Specialist authority translated into channel-native content.

The Pilot relationship combines long-term ambassadorship with detailed product knowledge, distinctive macro visuals and credible guidance for people choosing their next writing instrument.

The content focuses on nib detail, craftsmanship and the writing experience - giving a highly considered product enough context to be understood and desired.

Follow My Pen presenting an &Liebe fountain pen case

Case study 05 · Product-audience fit

Natural integration that turns attention into action.

Carefully crafted visual storytelling placed &Liebe products inside the real world of Follow My Pen rather than treating them as isolated advertisements.

The audience response was immediate and measurable: products introduced through the channel have sold out shortly after release, driven by context, detail and trust.

Why Follow My Pen

Not a rented audience. A trusted point of view.

People reach out every day for product advice, purchase guidance and honest opinions. That trust turns a brand appearance into something more valuable: a credible recommendation inside a culture I understand.

01

Collector

Materials, nibs, balance and writing feel are understood from years of daily use, not a campaign brief.

02

Marketer

More than 12 years in marketing brings strategy, hooks, distribution thinking and measurable goals to the creative.

03

Maker

Developing notebooks, linocut editions and stationery gives me a product creator's respect for detail and craft.
