We strengthen your brand globally

Whether it’s a global annual conference, a sales training session for a medium-sized company, or an internal employee seminar: Prof. Dr. Arnd Zschiesche and Prof. Dr. Oliver Errichiello bring brands to life… as a duo or individually, with a blend of scholarly depth and stylish entertainment. Worldwide.


Every presentation is tailor-made: featuring spot-on practical examples that address the cultural and industry-specific patterns of the respective audience while systematically broadening their perspective beyond their own horizons. Well-founded references to brand sociology ensure that the focus is on insights, not opinions. No buzzwords. No industry clichés. Instead: plain language that provides direction and inspires you to think for yourself.


Those who want to delve deeper than a lecture allows will find the ideal setting in our seminars and workshops. Whether it’s a half-day intensive workshop, a multi-day retreat, or a companion seminar format: here, we don’t just present—we work on concrete brand challenges specific to each company, yielding direct results that can be put into practice the very next day. The formats are flexible, but the standard remains the same.


In doing so, Zschiesche and Errichiello deliberately bring different temperaments to the stage. Zschiesche, down-to-earth and direct, has been providing answers to all strategic brand questions for over two decades; he confronts his audience with a clear rejection of money-wasting experiments and the everyday madness of advertising. Errichiello broadens the perspective: to social contexts, to what truly sustains brands beyond the zeitgeist. Together, they form a duo that is both grounded and visionary.

As “The Brand Professor” and “Consumer Philosopher”, I speak in ARD and ZDF magazines (including Markencheck, Plusminus) as well as on NDR (including MARKT) or on WDR, SWR, MDR. I can also be heard regularly on Deutschlandfunk and NDR Kultur.


I studied socioeconomics and brand sociology at the University of Hamburg and psychology at the University of Lyon. After my studies, I worked for many years at the Institute for Brand Technology in Geneva in the field of brand management and brand strategy for global companies. This was followed by a short period in the protocol of the Bundestag in Berlin. Still impressed by the power of the brand and its socio-economic dynamics, which were largely unknown in Europe until then, I was finally drawn back into business.


I worked in advertising agencies and companies as a strategist and marketing manager. In 2006, I founded the research and consulting company Büro für Markenentwicklung in Hamburg. At the same time, I manage the innovation laboratory of Deutsche Seereederei.


In 2018, I was appointed to the world's first professorship for brand sociology by Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. I also teach at the University of Hamburg, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and EMBA Hamburg. Guest lectures have taken me to England, Austria, Italy, Singapore and Indonesia.
