Hi, I’m Mathis.
Intrigued by the challenge of communicating complex content to various audiences, I have designed communication products in the development sector, for political campaigns, science communication, and for media outlets over the past several years.
Please take a look at a selection of my work!
Having worked in an international, multicultural, and interdisciplinary context, I take utmost care to tailor the message to its target audience.
Using Adobe Suite, I express my creative drive and design communication products from start to finish: content analysis, concept development, filming, editing and completing the video with final touches of sound design.
Datenraum Kultur
Strategy & Branding
Having joined an up-and-coming project like “Datenraum Kultur” (dataspace for culture), I am tasked with giving the project and the idea behind it a voice and a face.
Identifying key target groups, breaking down the abstract concept of data spaces to enticing visions and tangible impacts, and building up a following led to the successful launch of the project's communications strategy. Leveraging my interdisciplinary expertise and personal connections, I was able to accomplish this with minimal financial resources.
Launching a brand on LinkedIn
Creating a brand and its presence on a site like LinkedIn demands its own unique language and look. For Datenraum Kultur I just launched our presence on social media, building up an audience and finding its niche on the site.
Video Production
For a personal project, I had the opportunity to interview members of parliament for a series of campaign videos. The format I devised needed to be suitable for social media, while comprehensively addressing pressing political issues.
In cooperation with the KIGA - Kreuzberger Initiative gegen Antisemitismus - Aktuelles (kiga-berlin.org), I led a team to create the narrative and produce an educational video about the history and the underlying causes of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Podcast Production
Working with GIZ, I produced the podcast series “Vom Feld ins Regal”. I have led this process from the initial recording, to the editing, and advertising of the final episodes on social media. Building upon my previous experience, I was able to professionalise the look and feel of the podcast and attract a greater audience.
Together with the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) I produced the PeacebyPeace podcast, a format unpacking various aspects of global governance, peace, and security. As part of this project, we created two special episodes as a side event for the virtual World Bank Fragility Forum 2020 with multi-lingual panelists and voice actors.
Social Media
Building on my experience in image, video, and audio editing, I design multiple posts for several social media channels, one of which is the Instagram presence “ichwillfair”. For the channel, I am exploring innovative concepts to grow its reach and to communicate its message most effectively.
