Marjorieth Sanmartin
CCO
Philipp und Keuntje GmbH
Hamburg, Germany
As Chief Creative Officer at Philipp und Keuntje in Germany, Marjorieth is responsible for
the entire creative output of the group’s offices in Hamburg, Berlin, and Stuttgart. As a
half Venezuelan, half Spanish, living and working in Hamburg, Marjorieth is multiculturally
minded and a true expert at multitasking and proud mother of two.
She’s a proud member of the Art Directors Club Germany and part of the ADC Europe.
Marjorieth has been judging many important International Award Shows such as Cannes,
Clio, One Show, and many more besides and has been a Member of the Board of the Art
Directors Club in Germany and was President of the Design Jury at LIA in 2023.
Outside the agency, Marjorieth is a passionate activist in the fight against breast cancer –
having successfully beaten the illness herself. A Pink Ribbon Germany Ambassador, she
helps others to detect tumors in time and lends support and assistance to those
undergoing therapy. These experiences inspired her (and partners) to found “Fuck it I’m
Alive” – an organisation which shares inspirational portraits of breast cancer survivors.
The organisation raises awareness for the fact that breast cancer can affect both women
and men while also providing motivation and strength for those living with the condition.
While personal experiences helped her grow, Marjorieth’s professional experience has
made her a great creative leader. While studying in the US at the Miami Ad School, she
was at Leo Burnett Chicago, focussed on the growing Hispanic market, working for
brands like Disney, The Coca-Cola Company, McDonald’s, and ToysЯus. Marjorieth won
advertising awards early on in her career, opening the door to agencies in Europe like
BBH and Fallon in London, and Jung von Matt in Hamburg – where she decided to stay.
Marjorieth has guided creative work for global brands such as Audi, Lamborghini
Worldwide, Deutsche Telekom, Citroën, Deutsche Bank, and was Executive Creative
Director at Heimat-TBWA, leading more than 64 beauty and detergent brands from
Henkel Schwarzkopf internationally prior to becoming CCO at the independent German
Agency, Philipp und Keuntje.
Marjorieth describes herself a “Hybrid Creative”, she sees social media as a tool that’s
part of our everyday lives. She also enjoys experimenting with AI and making all of her
kids’ dreams come true.
