in NRW, in western Germany and beyond. Always backed by the full JOKE structure.
Why Cologne? Because proximity makes a difference.
Cologne is a media hub, a city of brands, a trade fair location, a cultural space—and a pretty great place for ideas that bring people together. For us, the new location means shorter distances, direct exchange and a team that understands the region without thinking only regionally.
Professional in ambition. Kölsch in how we work together.
In Cologne, it’s not just what you can do that counts, but also how you work with each other. Open, solution-oriented and with a strong feel for people. That’s exactly how we see our location: as reliable access to concept, creation, production and delivery—from a single source—with ease in collaboration and absolute precision in the project.
Two minds, one mindset: enabling ideas and creating impact.
As a strategic advisor, planner and implementer, André Furtkamp leads the Cologne location and is the first point of contact for clients, projects and partnerships in the region. As Creative Head, Kai Janssen brings the conceptual and design perspective: for formats that don’t just work, but have their own idea and recognisability.
Both have more than two decades of experience in live communication and bring different strengths together—from strategic consulting and international project management to creation, storytelling and brand staging.
