Founder Story

    Before Voyage Digital: five years in corporate and agency structures.

    Voyage Digital has existed since 2023 as an independent practice, since 2025 as Voyage Digital LTD. Before that came five years as an employee at three companies, working with brands as part of those teams. This page places the breadth of those years in context, without claiming them as Voyage projects.

    Era transition

    Independent since 2023, Voyage Digital LTD since 2025. Everything from here on is a Voyage project, everything before is a station.

    Breadth

    Ten years of online marketing across many interfaces: working with experts across every discipline (strategy, research, development, design, concept, creative), offline×online interlocked (pop-ups and events alongside digital experiences), working globally (Dubai, trade show stands, metaverse and NFT, new technology adopted early).

    Brands from this period

    Served as part of the respective teams, not as Voyage clients: Mercedes-Benz, Adidas, L'Oréal, Lufthansa, Bayer, Merz, IQOS, Riese & Müller, VS Möbel.

    Track record, not a reference list: every brand above was an employment relationship, not an engagement with Voyage Digital.

    What has been built since 2023 is on Projects, with numbers instead of claims.
