Valerie Benner
Creative Art Director
Berlin, Germany

I’m a Creative Art Director with 14 years of experience in the Beauty, Automotive, and Luxury industries, specialising in creative direction, branding, and visual storytelling.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to lead and execute high-impact creative campaigns and branding strategies for renowned brands like Eucerin, Mercedes-Benz, and KPM, driving strong brand identities and consumer engagement.

Currently, I serve as Art Lead for a Beauty Client at VML in Berlin, while also working as a freelance Creative Art Director, collaborating on diverse projects to bring unique, tailored branding solutions to life.
