Clients of Bureau Braune
After twenty years of art buying, I have experienced virtually all of the pitfalls of the business - as head of art buying at Springer & Jacoby just as much as independently as Bureau Braune since 2010.
Stars such as Sophia Loren and Pelé (Lufthansa), Martin Scorsese and David Bowie (Mercedes-Benz) or Nina Hagen and Udo Lindenberg (Deutsche Telekom) // animals// babies// look-alikes// CGI// special effects// rights clearance// small and large budgets// challenging schedules// or just the regular, everyday insanity:
In my experience, it isn’t enough just to book the best specialists to get excellent results - the people also have to fit together! Only if everyone involved will enhance instead of block each other, is it possible to develop a creative process with extraordinary outcome.
This takes not just a keen sense of the zeitgeist, style and trends, it especially takes a lot of close professional contacts. Over the years I was able to personally meet a number of photographers, illustrators, post-production specialists, CGI programmers, designers, stylists, set builders, make- up artists, graphic artists, art directors, copywriters, account directors, casting agents, producers (film & photo), graphic designers, calligraphers, and typographers across the globe on the job. And every day, new talented people enter my circles.
What also distinguishes good art buying is the ability to get a deep understanding of the desired look. I’m often involved in campaign developments and new business projects at an early stage to support the creative teams in finding the right look and provide them with unique image materials that will contribute to the brand. Because that’s what good images should do: Reach, enchant and convince the target group, instead of just following the “dernier cri”.
Bureau Braune considers itself to be a quality gate for the budget-oriented implementation of creative ideas. That sounds a lot like business management text, but it really arises out of a genuine passion. I put a lot of heart, confidence and objectivity into my task of finding exactly the right flavour that will satisfy the specific need.
