About Sumbo
Hi everyone! My name is Sumbo, and I’m a creative copywriter based in Hamburg, Germany. I have worked at a bunch of ad agencies like Ogilvy, Jung von Matt, Grey and more; worked on huge brands like Deutsche Bahn, Nivea, Douglas, etc.; and even had the opportunity to win some awards with my amazing teams! 🤩
Unfortunately, I was let go at the beginning of this year. But I saw it as a sign to follow the path that I have always dreamt about: becoming a freelancer!
I’m excited and scared at the same time because now, I have the chance to create amazing work I'm passionate about and use my knowledge to help growing businesses and brands.
My focus right now is to make all those boring B2B ads you see online (like on Meta and LinkedIn) into fun, but effective ads people would actually want to click on. One quote that drives my work is: “…all advertising is unwanted. So if you're going to crash the party, bring champagne!” (By Bob Thacker).
I’m still working on my portfolio, but if you’d like to see what I’ve been up to, click here:
On the other hand, if you'd like me to help you create email marketing campaigns, sales pages, landing pages, and anything on the direct marketing or conversion marketing side of things, I'm your person! Let me know, and I'll share that portfolio with you.

Had the privilege of being part of the main team working on Beiersdorf (Nivea) and Douglas. This is where I got to really learn the nitty-gritty of daily business and how to put some fun into projects that may seem a bit 'meh' at first, but have nice potential! Also worked on: Acqua di Parma, Wella, and Miele.I also realized that I may be a little too uncouth for the beauty and lifestyle world. Give me my cat memes, pop culture gossip, and dumb videos any day, and I'll go a little crazy with joy.
