Max Millies

In one of his past lives Max was a writer and creative director at ad agencies such as Jung von Matt, Mother and BBDO in Berlin and New York.  But he was never really happy in his relationship with the agency world and ended it soon after his almost no-budget directorial debut for little-known smoothie company True Fruits won a Cannes Lion.

Since then he has fathered a couple of children, gained a bit of weight and lost a lot of pitches. He also won a few jobs for clients like Vodafone, Netflix and The North Face and picked up a few more lions, pencils and clios.

His Haribo spots, now in their 8th season, are some of the most successful and popular in Germany today . But a cab driver once gave Max a 45-minute monologue on why he despises them.
