Johann Ulrich has considerable talents in a broad range of roles including graphic artist, illustrator, fashion photographer, cartoonist, designer, and painter, which led him to work for several of the greatest ad agencies in Europe and eventually founding his own agency. He has now joined the BCS management team specializing in creative marketing concepts and graphic designs for our clients. His forward-looking concepts have been highly successful for many companies.
Presently, Johann is committed to doing his part to counter the loss of individual creativity in our personal and professional lives. Believing that people who possess a stimulated sense of creative intelligence are less violent, more understanding, and more flexible in dealing with life's challenges, Johann is working to educate business leaders, teachers, and parents about the importance of supporting creative development in our schools and businesses. One way he achieves this is by organizing creative workshops. Playful and fun, they encourage participants to find new talents or rediscover dormant ones. These classes truly teach the art of self-expression and that is one of the many lasting masterpieces that Johann Ulrich has given society. |
