I am a dual US/EU citizen looking to make a move potentially there. Visited Berlin in the past and I loved it. Are English copywriters in demand there? Creatively which cities/agencies are producing some great work? And how is the ad scene there managing with covid? Thanks!

Some of those have agencies branches in other cities. Wouldn’t recommend going to Düsseldorf or Stuttgart, though.

And I’d like to add to this list in Berlin:
antoni
Heimat
... and in Hamburg:
Philipp und Keuntje

To give you a broader perspective.
Good luck mate!

They‘ve won a lot of new accounts recently. But they do at most average work on real clients and focus mostly on scam ads. Also, 90s macho agency culture and pretty embarrassing leadership

There’s somewhat demand for english Cw. However, you may lack work as most of it is in german.

Cities Berlin and Hamburg. Agencies: JvM, Scholz&Friends, Serviceplan, Innocean

OP here - just wanted to say thank you for all the info here! Looking forward to seeing what is on the other side of the creative pond one day soon 🙂
