Uber Eats appoints Mother Berlin for new brand platform

Mother Berlin has appointed Jan Paul Schwarz as New Business Director.

Mother Berlin has appointed Jan Paul Schwarz as New Business Director, bringing one of Germany's most established agency growth specialists into the team to build on Mother’s recent momentum.

Schwarz has spent more than a decade in the industry, with roles at Heimat and most recently as Director of New Business at TBWA\London, where he gained international experience across the UK market. More recently, he worked as an independent consultant, partnering with agencies on sustainable growth strategies; which is how he first engaged with Mother.

Jan Paul Schwarz, New Business Director, Mother Berlin:

 "I worked with a lot of agencies during my time as a consultant, and Mother stood out. The team, the culture, the work – it clicked immediately. We've had a strong run together over the past few months, and making this permanent felt like the obvious next step. I'm looking forward to helping build on what's already happening here."

Alexander Nowak, CCO & Creative Partner, Mother Berlin:

 "The past year has been an important one for us, with new clients, new work, and real momentum. JP as a consultant has been a central part of that. We've got a clear ambition, and he'll be key to getting us there."

Mother has been appointed as the global creative agency of record for Lufthansa Group.

Mother has been appointed as the global creative agency of record for Lufthansa Group. The partnership will see Mother develop a unifying brand platform that connects the Group’s diverse airline portfolio, including Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, ITA Airways, Eurowings, Air Dolomiti, Edelweiss Air and Discover Airlines, as well as its loyalty and service brands such as Miles & More, Lufthansa Technik, Lufthansa Aviation Training, and Lufthansa Cargo.

Mother is tasked with developing a brand platform that makes Lufthansa Group more than a group of airlines. The collaboration aims to create a shared narrative that celebrates both the individuality of each airline and the collective strength of the Group.

Alexander Nowak, creative partner and CCO of Mother Berlin, said, "To be chosen by Lufthansa Group, the airline group that shaped so many of our own first flights and family holidays — is incredibly humbling. This is a deeply meaningful brief, and one that goes far beyond advertising. We’re honoured to help shape the future narrative of this aviation group, and to elevate the spirit of travel in a way that resonates on a human level.”

Olivier Krüger, chief marketing officer at Lufthansa Group, added, “As we move from a group of airlines to one strong airline group, our ambition is to create a shared brand platform that unites our collective strength while keeping the unique spirit of each airline alive. With Mother, we’ve found a partner who can help us bring this vision to life.”

In this episode of #WhatsNextAgencies, Kim Alexandra Notz talks to Amelie Schad, Managing Director at Mother Berlin, about NextGen Human. Amelie takes us on her professional journey - from her beginnings at Serviceplan to the founding of the Berlin creative agency Antoni and her current role at Mother Berlin.

For Amelie, people are the main focus. “Culture doesn't come from above - it comes from working together,” she emphasizes. In the interview, she shares her experiences as a woman and mother in a management position and talks openly about balancing family and career.

She believes that a strong culture is not just created by words, but by genuine commitment - be it through flexible working hours or creative solutions.

Amelie also talks about the challenges and opportunities of the next generation. In her opinion, it is crucial not only to attract young talent, but also to support them in the long term. This also involves the question of how agencies can become places where employees not only enjoy working, but can also grow personally.
