Expanding its Corporate Branding department, SOLUTIONS Branding & Design Companies AG is pleased to welcome an experienced new member to its team: Effective immediately, Nicolai Dorka, 42, is on board at the Hamburg company.

The branding expert is to become joint head of the department, together with Saskia Gartzen. In this capacity, he will be responsible for strategic direction and will report directly to the board.

As Global Director for Strategy, Dorka will primarily advise international clients on their corporate branding projects. For this, he can look back on 15 years of experience working both for companies and on the agency side:

Following his studies in Hamburg and Los Angeles, Dorka first worked for iconAddedValue (previously The Value Added Company), advising clients such as Levi’s, Opel, Shell and Lego. In 2000, he joined the management at Landor before taking on the position of Global Brand Manager at Sandoz, where he handled the worldwide management of the corporate brand. In 2005 the branding expert established his own consultancy, DorkaBrandConsulting, and advised clients such as Nycomed, Merck, Schott and the Otto subsidiary EOS.

“Corporate Branding has become increasingly important to us and our clients in recent years,” say Holger Prüssner, CEO and SOLUTIONS founder. “When looking to expand our staff, we wanted our choice to reflect this focus and the international orientation of our company. With Nicolai Dorka, we have found the ideal addition to our team,” concludes Prüssner.
