Over the past years, we've had the pleasure of supporting several regional energy providers with creative campaigns — but one collaboration stands out: the long-standing partnership with Stadtwerke Hamm.
Together, we created Jeff — a quirky, innovative character who became the face of Hamm’s local energy narrative. Since its launch, the campaign has grown into a series of 8 cinematic commercials, shown regularly in local theaters and on digital billboards.
My role across all 8 films: editing and VFX, ensuring Jeff’s personality and the campaign’s visual consistency shine through.
These spots have resonated with the community — combining humor, storytelling, and forward-thinking energy topics. The collaboration remains strong to this day, with Dirk Polte managing the creative connection,pre production and production, and myself handling post-production.
Jeff has been the heart of this campaign — a curious, friendly, slightly eccentric character bringing humor and awareness to everyday energy topics.
The Commercials
till today, i don't know if they uploaded the final draft version for youtube... The Kino Spots are sharp and HQ
My focus was on seamless storytelling through editing, and subtle but effective VFX that kept the visual tone fun, clear, and dynamic.
