Ricardo Wolff
Creative Director, DDB Berlin, Germany
“Two years ago I was lucky to hold a lecture at the Golden Drum, which also meant access to the exhibition. I remember seeing really cool stuff during a quick stroll through the panels. This year is different. My focus will be 100 % on the entries, not my keynote. And that’s awesome. Cause that’s what it’s all about: work. I’m honored to be part of this jury and looking forward to the ideas blown by the New European winds.”
Ricardo Wolff started his copywriting career at DDB Berlin after graduating from Miami Ad School in 2006.

In 2013 Ricardo moved to BBDO Berlin as a Creative Director on the Daimler Smart brand, and more recently has returned to DDB Berlin to lead the Volkswagen International account, also as Creative Director.
