Sehsucht announces new CCO

Hybrid production studio Sehsucht has promoted its long-standing creative director, Hans-Christoph Schultheiss, to chief creative officer of its Hamburg HQ.

Schultheiss has almost 18 years of experience in the fields of design, animation, and film. He has been an exclusive in-house director with Sehsucht since 2011 working with clients such as Lamborghini, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus.

"[Hans'] unpretentious leadership, vast knowledge of CGI and animation techniques combined with a highly creative handling of processed moving image - from the classic TVC to immersive film experiences - makes him the ideal candidate for this new role,” said Martin Woelke, founder and partner of Sehsucht.  

"Sehsucht has always had a reputation for constantly re-inventing itself to stay ahead of the game. And once again it is time to take the next steps," said Schultheiss. "I couldn’t be more excited about this new role, shaping the future of the studio together with our incredible team.”
