About Eike
Hey! I’m Eike — or Julian, depending on where you’re from and how easily "Eike" rolls off your tongue. Gabriel and Ekwe are also options! I’m a visual thinker, conceptual solver, and immersive storyteller with creativity in my soul. Crafting compelling narratives and transforming ideas into engaging content is at the heart of what I do.
From an early age, storytelling has been my escape and my power. While other kids were glued to the TV, I had to rely on my imagination—thanks to parents who banned modern culture from our home. To fit in, I invented my own stories about films I pretended to have seen, and before long, my creativity was crafting entire worlds. One tale was so convincing, it led to a
concerned teacher calling my parents after I described an imaginary horror movie in vivid detail. This was my first lesson in the art—and the consequences—of compelling storytelling.
Today, that passion for narrative is my profession. I blend creativity with strategy to bring stories to life across digital campaigns, traditional media, and everything in between. From pre-production to post, I’ve had the privilege of shaping impactful messages for brands like Gorillas, Mercedes-Benz, Marriott Hotels, Applebee’s, Dosenbach, AARP, and many more. Each project is a new chapter in my creative journey, and I love nothing more than finding the heart of a story and bringing it to life in a way that resonates.
