Eyes & Ears of Europe: Michael Zschiesche and Ben Kerneck join the Board

Eyes & Ears of Europe is setting the course for the future: With Michael Zschiesche of 2know.agency and Benjamin Kerneck of BDA Creative, the association welcomes two experienced experts in creative communications to its Board. At the same time, Björn Klimek is stepping down from the Board after decades of dedicated service to the association. He will remain an active member of Eyes & Ears of Europe.

Michael Zschiesche is already well known to many members through his work as a speaker at Eyes & Ears Academies and his presentations on artificial intelligence. With his expertise at the intersection of technology, creativity and communications, he brings valuable insights into the changes AI is driving across the media and creative industries.

With Ben Kerneck, a familiar face is also returning to the Board. As Managing Partner at BDA Creative, he brings many years of experience in TV, streaming, brand design and communications. BDA Creative is one of the established and highly sought-after agencies for the development of brand identities and visual worlds in the TV and streaming sector.

With Michael Zschiesche and Ben Kerneck, Eyes & Ears of Europe gains not only two proven industry experts, but also fresh perspectives for the association’s work.

“We are very much looking forward to working with Michael and Ben and to shaping the future of Eyes & Ears of Europe together,” says Zeljko Karajica, President of Eyes & Ears of Europe.
