Hans Gissinger

 

A true artist.

Client: Leo Burnett

Hans, you inspired me. You are a true artist and symphony director on set. 

Though you know it not, my style of creative leadership was influenced by observing your passion and technical capability on set. It's why I am so hands-on and visceral with my own crews. You reminded me of my love for photography, how to lead and inspire talent, while also demonstrating a beautiful lesson on the craft and it's capabilities.

Truly impressed by your grace and humble demeanor. Not only were you an incredible director, your charm at lunch and tolerance of my friend's bad Swiss jokes (one day Tomo, one day. I grew up in Europe... as if I couldn't read the swear words, ha. He did smile though thankfully! See, grace). To this day Hans, your body of work continues to inspire me. Keep going, others utilize your mind for inspiration.

So many images as support for the branding of Leo Burnett's All Star High Level Creatives. Big Game Cat Herding (kittens if you're capable). Said images are under lock and key and can only be discussed in European coffee houses and bars. 

True enthusiasts may see these in person... but it will open a giant floodgate of a massive branding career for Philip Morris International, alongside Leo Burnett Creatives. Yes, I was a Sith Lord in training, but now at the Swoosh trying to do good for the world. Reluctant but earnest Jedi in training... Cheers!
